For some reason my MT4 is giving me a "Market Closed" error all morning, yet the market is clearly not closed. MT4 is working fine otherwise, updating quotes and charts. My broker is OANDA, and I can go onto their web platform and place trades. Anyone else experience this?
I found the answer on the "Broker" forum (never though to look there). Turns out OANDA is having server issues with MT4.
I'm experiencing the same issue w/ Oananda , going on or three days when placing trades as I'm told the market is closed. Contacted their tech support thus the reply.

Do any fx traders have advise on a more reliable broker w/ decent spreads that are in the states?
One thing I've been doing is charting on my MT4, and then placing the trades on OANDA's web platform. Ironically, the trades show up on MT4 with no problem. It's an extra step, but for now it's working...as long as I have the luxury of an extra few minutes to do so. Don't recommend scalping with that process!
Hello, looks like Oanda, is having current issues as I'm experiencing the same thing as last week. Trying to execute a trade and I get a prompt telling me the market is closed when it's actually open.
Going to look for other options. Anyone have recommendations?
