Does not provide expired futures contracts.

Important Information:Existing OEC customers need to enable third party software at Open E Cry web page. Introducing brokers (such as Global Futures) clients should use this link: Open E Cry Portal web page. If MultiCharts is not enabled on Open E Cry web page, the connection will not be established.


To set up Open E Cry data feed connection:

  1. In the QuoteManager main menu select Tools and then click Data Sources.
  2. Select Open E Cry in the list of all supported data vendors and click the Settings button.
  3. In the opened up window:
  • Authority section.
    Enter Login and Password.
  • Connectivity section.
    Make sure that the Server Name and Port number are correct.
  • Historical Data section.
  • Simultaneous loading of Historical Data across all symbols/charts.
    If the box is checked the data is requested for all symbols simultaneously, not in a particular order.
  • Utilization of cache for real-time price data.
    Example: Historical minutes are requested as minutes from server up to the latest one. The latest historical is plotted from ticks up to the present moment. All the data that is collected in real-time (ticks) is used to build minutes.
  • Real-time Data section.
    Generate a new tick if total volume changes.
    Turn on this function if you need total volume for the session. By default it is turned off. When turn on, the Trade Tick Volume = current TotalVolume – previous TotalVolume.


To add an instrument manually or from data source, see Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List.

Also, make sure that you set up Open E Cry broker profile for trading and Open E Cry broker plug-in for auto-trading.
