The Internet-based front end connects through either Internet Explorer or Netscape. Once a new user is given a login and password, as well as a quick online demo, they are ready to send their orders. Each OAK customer has its own margin and trading permissions in place.
Customers also have the ability to sort or filter orders, fills, etc.
This makes for easy order management. Detailed trade history information is available for every order, which includes such information as time stamp, order type, contract and month, price, executing broker and opposite house. OAK stays one step ahead of the competition by its ability to enhance the system as needed. OAK has additional API's built into the system for each exchange. Currently OAK routes and delivers orders into Electronic Clerk, CUBS devices in the pit, TOPS ticket printers and Globex for Emini's at the Chicago futures exchanges.
