I don't understand why are you guys freaking out so much (if you didn't loose money). It was clearly a bug in the code and not done on purpose and I am quite certain that broker that old and stabile will refund all traders money who lost money due to prolonged spread widening.
There has been 2 major MT4 updates in just few days apart from each others so it is understandable if the brokers have some problems (especially oanda as their execution is quite different from other brokers). I suppose they haven't answered to tony's email yet is because they have hundreds of people already emailing them from the same issue and doing refunds etc. Keep cool and I'm sure it was an accident and all who lost money will get refunded.
