sorry this may be off topic... move to 'broker discussion thread' if you will.
i'm not here to accuse oanda of anything... well maybe I am, but I do need some people who have live accounts from different brokers to verify for me that these prices are from oanda only.
These pics are from just this week.
#1 Eur/usd 15min Oct. 10. 2008
the spike on this bar was 1.3626
Now this is what I see on IBFX demo on metatrader
1.3611
#2 US/CHF 5min Oct. 6.2008
This is a scanned picture because Oanda doesn't keep chart records after a couple days... for 5min charts
the low was at 1.1310
Now this is what ibfx demo shows
If you can verify these prices on a live account I would appreciate. These are 15 point discrepancies. What really gets me though is that they are located to take out the previous swing high/low, obvious stop loss areas, before they continue on with the trend.
I've been trading a live account with oanda for about 3years now, they are my only broker... I've gotten good at spotting and trading expanding triangles, but now I'm wondering if I go into the 'real' world... would they even exist LOL
I know Oanda can do whatever they want with their prices, but I want to know if they are alone in this.
If they are... anyone recommend a good broker for someone with about a $5000 account. I just emailed Hotspotfx but they require a $7500 account =( Maybe efx? do they still exist?
