Open E Cry

Good work mule!

I've been with Open E Cry for about 9 months and I rate it as a great platform; the free OEC Trader platform is very good for my single contract e-mini S&P trading. It has a Keltner channel indicator that very few other charts carry that I use in my trading.

OVERALL a very solid and dependable broker and trading platform.

Current Problems

Yes, recently OEC has been experiencing technical problems but I have been trading with them for over 2 years and this is merely a small blip. I would rate their overall reliability at around 99% which is excellent considering I remain connected to their server 24/5.

Good DoM, Flexibility

I've been with OEC for about two weeks (moved from IB) and they've been great. The platform is free and easy to use. They have no monthly minimum trade requirement, no order cancellation fees, no data charges, etc. Commissions are not bad, but not great. You can also trade pit markets with a broker by phone with an on-line chat feature built into their software (very cool) for around $25 a RT if you need access to other markets. All in all, I'm pleased and glad I switched.
