DislikedI would love to see some actual evidence of this ? / ? It seems to me the brokers would not participate in this kind of activity because it would be 1) illegal and 2) counterproductive to their business. The more likely scenario in my opinion is that the traders getting stopped out just simply made bad trades and are looking for someone to blame.Ignored

Dislikedlol, you see what I mean, some people just can't see anything wrong with that picture and that's why marketmakers like Oanda can get away with this stuff.
Too funny, seriously, just too funny.Ignored
DislikedWhat is Oanda getting away with. Helping be pay my bills? Bad Oanda, bad.
Switch brokers if you are unhappy with them lol...whoa thats tough to doIgnored
DislikedIt's called having multiple brokers depending on the type of trades your taking. I know from long long ago not to putz around with oanda during NFP. Maybe now you know also.
If anyone is new to these boards and surely will stumble into this thread as broker stop hunting is really fun to talk about. If you want to know who's making money, its the people not sitting around complaining about brokers all day.
Best of luck

DislikedAh right, so that would be a 'no' to posting anything like a screenshot or details to support what you're saying. That's fine and not totally unexpected.
Oanda moved price to suit their order book for their own financial benefit, plain and simple. Is that honest?
Like you say, "not to putz around with oanda during NFP" and that's good advice by the look of it, another choice might be to trade with an honest marketmaker because if Oanda can do something as blatant as that then they can probably do anything!
I take it you trade with Oanda, in which case I think you better hang on to that luck you're passing around, you're going to need all you can getIgnored
DislikedInteresting how the majority of your posts are complaining about brokers. Over a third of them relating to Oanda and a video you found on the internet. Have you had bad luck with trading?Ignored
