Hello everyone, just wanted to ask if anyone has used OCTAFX before? I'm currently using it as my main broker right now, but I am still having second doubts as its main link to the website is "under maintenance". I am relatively new to trading so I do not know how often maintenance for websites occur. Would love to know what your experiences are using the broker and if you are from the Philippines would love to know what broker you recommend that is good for a small portfolio trader like me.
I am not from PH and I have traded with Oanda before but currently I could not connect to their website oanda.com, seems ISP blocked the domain. Anyone from Vietnam experienced the same issue, please advise?

Hello I have a Oanda demo MT4 account but for a while now have had problems with it. I wanted to download a new MT4 but when I did download what was supposed to be MT4 it was MT5. I would prefer to stay with MT4. Can anyone tell me where I can download MT4?
Thanks

Hi, Thank you for replying. It looks like you're located in the United Kingdom which would not include you in MetaQuotes decision to drop all customers in the United States, I don't think. Let me know if I'm missing something. As for your issues with Oanda, I would suggest you contact Oanda's forum here (under Brokers) and make them aware. I've had success with this in the past.
Good Luck.

It looks like you are trying to download the file from the Metaquotes page directly, Metatrader 4 is only available through brokers. If you are trying to download the file from the MQ page directly even you click the MT4 options it will download the MT5 file.

MT4 can only be downloaded from the broker's client area.

I just opened a couple demo accounts with oanda because MT4 was shut off at TradersWay to all US customers.

Just when I had an EA that works.

First hangup, ofuanda closes forex from 16:59 until 17:05. What on earth? Are we allowed to use foul language on here?

Next is the FIFO FU. That's not going to work well with my EA.

And what's with additional trades of the same kind? When a trade goes negative, and there's another signal, it takes another which mitigates or completely makes up for the loss on the first one. That's important. It just keeps giving the "Off Quotes" message.

In the other oanda demo account, I can take multiple trades in the same direction, but it won't let me modify SL and TP on any of them. It says "Fifo violation".

I'm pretty tired of this already.

yep..... you just about sized it up.....

the 16:59 break is due to likelihood of market manipulation during that time..... it's well documented......

fifo is truly pathetic..... as is the no opposing trades..... both of those are due to nfa intervention into a subject they do not fully understand.....

the additional same sized order restrictions is oanda specific..... multiple same sized, same symbol, orders can not have profit targets or stop losses other than 0..... very likely their method of avoiding nfa's record keeping burden.....
//------

walked away from mq4 altogether a few weeks ago.....

by coincidence just yesterday closed all my forex accounts everywhere with the exception of a few funded prop firm accounts.....

which basically says my personal "suffering fools" stoploss was hit on all the subjects above......

now my 100% focus is futures and mq5......h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

Thanks! That helps me out. I'll just take a different sized order. If I get that "off quotes" error, add some size and try again.

Thanks again, that's working well. As long as they're different sized, everything works as it should.

With this strategy, if one trade is going negative, the next signal will be higher probability, so I don't mind putting on a larger trade.

Typical OANDA. Just when volatility picks up and you need access to your broker, they start having "technical problems". It's a repeating pattern with them.
