Years ago (maybe 12 years or more), some of us OANDA traders in our city got together for donuts and coffee each month. But that didn't last for long. At our first meeting, there were about 10 of us. Each meeting after that, there were 2 fewer ...

Interactive Brokers. My account application was approved and the trading platform all configured, but having funding issues. I supplied the banking details twice for ACH/EFT but have yet to receive the 2 small test deposits to my bank account. Just ...

Lower spreads and commission are not that important to me since I hold my positions for days, weeks or months. As I grow older (50's), I just want to manage my trading/investing more easily. With IB, I can trade stocks, futures, options, FX, etc all ...

Interactive Brokers

I just closed my account with them today. I was with them from 2002 to 2008 and 2017 to today. To keep me with them, they offered to switch me over to the institutional platform (Currenex). 50k is a good starting balance. Currenex accounts require ...

I've seen OANDA goes down as far back as at least 10 years ago. Back then it was during important news releases.

No connection with mobile app or fxTrade. Can't login to forum to let them know.

I know of a few accounts that are 6 or even 7 figures. My current account is just into the 6 figures from 50k initial trading capital in less than 1.5 years of trading.

It would be more meaningful if we knew if the losing accounts included accounts that blew up and closed and/or accounts that were not traded within the past 12 months. Excluding blew up accounts and/or including inactive accounts will understate the ...

The market is now so trendy that any half-baked system will work.

At OANDA, the candlestick chart uses the average price of bid-ask. If you select Min/Max type, you will see the lowest ask price at that time was 0.67096 so it never reached your TP price of 0.67076.

I started trading at OANDA from 2002. I had to stop in 2008 due to other commitments. I was quite a fanboy of OANDA back then and recommended them to all those traders that asked me. They weren't perfect. But overall probably one of the best market ...

Well, the day is not over yet. We'll see in a few hours.

I actually enjoy reading some of the posts. Not sure what the red flags are. As a new member, my posts were on hold for hours or even over the weekend.

I can't recall ever making more than 500 - 600 pips per position myself. After a few hundred pips there is always something to trigger my exit.

Looking to short @3150 myself.

I guess I'm a loser by your definition - 6+ months of profitable returns in a row. I'm working on my fifth this month. We'll see if I make it to be a successful trader by the end of Summer. I don't mind being a loser when my NAV is greater than my ...

I trade @OANDA. Interest earned alone was 2k+, more than what I paid last year when I was a dollar bear.

I've been trading from the long side for the past 3+ months from around 105. But I never kept my positions - kept taking profits (200 to 300 pips) and long again on pullbacks. In fact, I've been trading long dollars against all the majors this way ...
