Consider yourself fortunate soso because I can give you a list of dozens of traders I know, and myself, that Oanda's trading platform is not very stable around news time. If you don't trade around those times, then you may never have experienced ...

I've been around the broker block and I find FXSol as the one that I can live with. The Oanda spread spikes at news time and their java trading platform freezing, hanging and crashing was just too much to take. With FXSol you download their trading ...

I’m sorry for posting so late but I haven’t been on the forum in a few days. To answer the question about limit orders having their spreads increased at news time with FX Solutions, they usually do this within 30 minutes of a major news release. For ...

There is no such thing as a perfect broker. You will find they all have their quirks. As I said I use FXSol but if you try to trade news spikes for example, many times the price expires and you can’t get in. The other thing they do is widen the ...

Obviously Mr. Trend has not had or researched many Forex brokers. For the record, they do not all increase spreads at news time so I don’t know why he would even say that. And the comment about reimbursing their clients? I can give you names of many ...

Mr. Trend either hasn't been with Oanda long or he has a vested interest in them. I was with them for over 4 months and I can tell you first hand many of my technical trades were stopped out because of 20-30 pip spreads at news time. They also had ...

Thanks — Thanks JudeX BTW - Does anyone have any details instructions about how they best use this tool? If people could share how they use it successfully, what moving averages they use, what do they look for, etc. That would be very helpful. ...

Moving averages — Hi judex001, I just started using your tool today but my charts don't look the same as your latest ones. I downloaded the latest files from your blog and compiled them but my charts still look very similar to your initial ...
