I did not notice any problems with the OEC data I get through S5. But of course, I'm not a heavy user.
One nice thing about OEC, is they started to support continuous contracts, and the latest Multicharts platform (8.8 beta right now) started supporting continuous contracts from OEC - pretty neat, similar to IQFeed. You don't get much history though - 4 days for tick data.
If you need more info, ask for a trial account - I think they do offer that, and then read about the forum they offer with the account - it should give you enough info for a while.
Do you day-trade or swing ? I think their forum is especially good if you're trading more or less daily.
I would imagine people that have that opinion fit into one of two camps.
a) They think their method is top secret and want to protect their edge from prying eyes. Well, I got news, if you can't trust your broker then you shouldn't give them your money.
b) They are embarrassed by their losses and don't want the broker to see them.
I assume the case is (b) here, and I would encourage you to set aside that way of thinking and instead just openly ask for help. @FuturesTrader71 is one of extremely few in this industry that is really trying to help people and he tells it how it is. That is why I've invited him on futures.io (formerly BMT) for countless webinars and AMA's, I appreciate his work and effort in the industry.
Bottom line, don't be afraid of your losing streak and just ask for the damn help. FT71 will give good advice to set you on the right path, and then if you are willing to do the work you stand a chance of learning to improve your trading.
Now you are being arrogant. You dont know me, I dont know you. But I survive from what I gain in trading. If I was recurring in losses, I would have starved a long time ago.
About not wanting my trading system to be open to the world, I have my reasons, as you have yours to charge U$100,00 to anyone wanting to become an elite member. We all have our reasons. I dont judge you, you dont judge me.
