Hi

I am looking for a new broker. I am considering OEC, but I don't know how good their datafeed are. I am not interested in using e-signal as a extra data provider, but only OEC's own datafeed. Is it good enough for scalping? I am looking for fast, reliable unfiltered datafeed.

sorry if im too late, but i guess it depends on what sort of things you look for. free charting (up to 10 contracts at once), a decent sized indicator library, DOM, and a trade window that you can set to see each trade like a ticker tape. you can set the trade window to only show sizes greater than whatever you set, but you cant do that on the DOM. i think the charts are OK. fairly easy to use, customizablel time frames, colors, etc. so far i havent had any connection issues, its been around 2 years.

I use OEC, Ninja ( rithmic and CQG connections), transactAT, CQG Integrated client and a few more.
OEC data ( we actually white labeled their software as E-Futures International) is excellent and is as good as any of the above and better - its free.....

In December 2013, OEC made some huge leaps forward in the quality of their data.

Right now, I'd say that yes, OEC can now be used for scalping.

How so? What did they do or change?

I'm currently looking into them and their platform. They say it can use Easy language or C# so hopefully it will be easy to plug in code I already use from Ninja or TS..

Matching trades against the bid/offer specifically.

Their Tickstream still colors trades based on uptick/downtick but their actual data matches trades against the bid/offer on par with IQFeed on US markets and ahead of IQFeed on Eurex.

That's good to hear. I haven't tried either OEC or Rithmic yet but have had issues in the past with providers during fast markets. Having data behind the bid/offer would drive me nuts.

Thanks for the reply.
