so this is the great Onada?

Just some questions about Onada as i signed up for a demo today and was seriously thinking of them as a option for real trading.

1) The Website why does such a popular and well funded brokerage like Onada feel it is necessary to have cheesy ads for cheap hotels and air flights on their homepage?

2) The Platform okay so i was weaned on MT4 and i am not impressed with Onada's charting. Also this is Java which i have to get used to. However i cannot even select candle sticks or bar over the default line chart, this must be a mistake? Also my charts only have data in the first half, they don't expand to fill the whole chart?

3) Little Window Thingy whenever i click on the resources tab i have a tiny window in my browser that opens. I cannot enlarge this. Is this the same with others?

please advise.

Use MT4 for charting and Oanda for trades.

Chk your browser settings.

The learning curve is something that needs to be 'embraced' not fought.

Good Luck to you.

You can change to candlesticks...i believe it's in the same group as the "currency""period""chart type"

But yea, when it's all said and done, it's a pretty bad charting service. Even though i use price action, i still prefer MT4 for putting up trend lines and fib ratios.

Instead of finding silly things wrong w/ Oanda just be happy there is a retail broker out there that even offers comparable prices to CNX & Hotspotfxi.

You need about 50k to trade on CNX or Hotspotfxi and they don't even offer charting.

You couldn't pay me to trade on 99% of the brokers out there. It funny how recently some of these brokers have taken steps to be more like Oanda.

hey! don't diss oanda!
They've been good to me

Easy guys, i am not disrespecting anyone. Just voicing my opinion. There are alot of good things about Onada that i am finding like being able to purchase any lot size you wish. Also i had a very quick reply from their support. Shoot if they went to Mt4 they would probably rock.

go to fxlabs.oanda.com and download the desktop version of the platform, that will get rid of you having to use a browser and that tiny window that annoys you.

Just wanted to say thx to Sdot and howdy for the info. No more little window thingy!

One more question and i will keep quiet. Can you somehow display the current price on the chart itself without always looking at the bid/ask? Something esle i really miss from MT4.

There's an option to add a Price Overlay in the bottom left hand corner of your chart, where there's a drop-down menu and you can add Open/Close Ask/Bid, and High/Low Ask/Bid.

Mmm still working on this one but thank you for the response kharvell.

On the top right hand side just above the chart there are three groups of small buttons, the middle group lets you show the bid, ask and current prices.
