Disliked{quote} The picture enlarges when you click it, just like the charts. It shows the trades being canceled at 8:30:01 AM EST. OANDA replied this morning. They said that they had canceled the trades because they would have resulted in an immediate SL (which I normally set at twenty pips). After reviewing my own records, I note that they have been happy to take my money this way in the past. Now, there has to be some latency going from their on-premises MT4 server to their in-house execution engine, so I am moving towards the conclusion that they couldn't...Ignored
So, either way, Oanda taking off your trades, presumably at the SL price and accounting, it ended up being as it should be......just as if they had left them alone. So, there is no basis to complain. Right?
It is a reason to not use SL, and instead to just trade very light relative to account equity, to withstand normal MMs stop hunting. And, of course, not to trade at all, either way, coming up to significant releases.
