I apologize guys....I'm really sorry....but this is just unacceptable!!!

As if fighting the market itself was not hard enough you have to fight against your broker too!!!!

What bothers me the most is the fact that one of the Oanda's founders is a pioneering doctor in computer science..but they can't keep their servers running decently. BUCKETSHOP BROKER!!!!!!

Here a FF broker poll, might help you find the broker for you.

I think both are equally important - not necessarily for the broker but as a trader. If you trade from charts, these must be rock solid and in synch with your broker's prices - just my opinion. I tried all of the free FXCM charts - saw the same issues of chart not matching broker platform, stalling/freezing. I actually think the FXCM chart plug-in which is actually "market scope" is pretty decent as far as applications. But it is not always in synch with the platform - a major flaw if you ask me - just my opinion. In any case - I suppose this topic is best for the broker forum and not the GU thread. I don't want the Forex police i.e. mafia to come after me.

I cant understand how can someone prefers a good chart forex company, instead of a SAFE and Fast execution company. Is the trader that makes profit. Blaming the charts is not an option.

Regarding your problem, yes, it's demo problems, i've seen it before, but they dont happen on live accounts.

This was Oanda's message on their forum:

We are aware that a majority of clients are experiencing difficulty accessing the platform. At this time we still don't know the cause of the problems and the engineering team continue to investigate. The analysis is complicated by the fact that throughout the day many were experiencing issues, while other clients did not have any issues.

As part of the investigation out engineers have temporarily disabled the activity log on the GUI. However transaction history will work instead. This seem to have solved the major issues.


None of this is due to liquidity problems. While liquidity has been extremely tight, OANDA addresses these issues by widening the spreads.

This is a major reversal. From my observation, cable could come down to 1.94XX this month, after which I think it would probably rise again.

I think we are just in a shock period. Real estate is a huge business in the U.S. and the sub prime issue caught everyone off guard, about the effect on the rest of the world. Over all the $ is still week and once the shock wears off we will be marching back the other way. Question is when. as a short term trader like I think most of us are, everyday we think can it really go any lower, is this the bottom. Well I think you keep selling until you have that loss going the other way. We all should have made some money so one loss won't matter. I think once this thing start back up it will go up like a rubber band that was stretch out. I Figure if bad news keeps playing out in the Financial areana we will see the $ rally until the next FOMC. Watch the head lines because the only reason for the reversal today was the rumor of a emergency meeting, well it didn't happen and it can back. For the short term the head lines have made all my decisions. Right now there is nothing coming out that will change the current situation so I'm still sell and with crazy profits on all $ pairs. How do you not buy $'s. This is a crazy ride.

Dont. Worry about risk. If you add more lot, and the price still go against you...your problem will go twise as big. Besides, the trend is a HUGE down. Adding another long would not be a good idea IMHO.

I am going to try a small long bet multiplied by a big move = good earnings.

With huge whips like this it has to be small so i can expect big losses before i see bigger profits

with the dow whipping 300 points in an hour there is a risk of total wipe out if its a big bet

stop losses are going to get whacked very easily in this hurricane and will not help

so 'big wave riding' with small bets is the only way i reckon

i will put a small long on cable soon and hope to see 270 points times my bet by the time i get back from scotland next tuesday

day trading is for the brave right now so i am topping up my margin account and fastening my seat belt and riding some big losses and profits between now and next week - hopefully 1.9870 or so by tuesday - we will see


I will put a s/l around 1.92 and hope it doesnt bump that
