Open E Cry Order Server 1.60 Released

New Features

– Support OEC API 3.5.0.0 (OEC Trader 3.5)
– Support Forex order placement
– Support multiple account order placement.

Working with Multiple Accounts

– On order form right click to select account
– For automated trading, specify account name in trading system properties or directly supply the account name in order placement methods

Important Notice

– Does not work with prior OEC API versions
– If you are installing both OEC Trader 3.5 and this new order server, remember to reboot computer and then launch OEC Trader 3.5 at least once to let it register its ActiveX / .Net components with Windows before you launch NeoTicker again
– First time you start NeoTicker with OEC connected, open the OEC Order Server window and check if the API is set to 3.5.x.x. If not, change the setting to 3.5.x.x and close the order server. The setting will then be automatically saved and NeoTicker will auto restart the order server for you afterwards.

Notes

– Cannot work properly with remoting until certain technical issues are resolved at OEC’s end
– Stock order placement and data subscription not supported yet as OEC sim server do not support stock related order placement testing yet
