Oanda's FXManager - let's test it!

FXManager is OANDA's new resource for Money Managers to receive and trade client funds in the FX market.

Uses a PAMM (Precent Allocation Money Management) system to administer accounts.

I got an invitation to take part in the beta testing, so I need some virtual clients. That's why I need your help.

If you want to help me test the FXManger tool, just say and I'll send you the personal invitation link in a private message (not sure if i'm allowed to post this kind of links here).

REMEMBER: the FXManager beta is released only for the FXGame platform, that means it's just demo trading, no real money involved until it's out of the beta, so you can't lose (or win) anything

I'm waiting for "clients" hehe

Thanks!

PS: if this thread is in the wrong place I'm going to ask a moderator to move it to the lounge.

Oanda is a good retail broker,as far as I know!

I know it's a good broker, I just want to test this tool they just released

Too bad the markets will close soon when the weekend comes..

Ok stefant,can you tell me how can I help to test this tool ?

Private messaged you the invite link

I may end up using this as a manager someday, so I'd like to see what it's like on the client side. I'll be your client!

Thanks for helping. Here's the invite link https://fx2.oanda.com/ma/landingpad_...UQF19TXElJXBE=

Thanks. I added some funds and I hope I did it correctly.

Yep. Everything's fine. Thanks again for joining!

I'll email you later today some details about FXManager (2 blog posts I wrote about it + last week's managed account performance).

Have a good Monday!

I am interested as well, and looking into opening and account at OANDA so this seems like a good place to start.

Feel free to sign up with Oanda, you'll get an unlimited demo account where you can add funds whenever you want. If you're going to register for a demo account you can also join my virtual managed account (invite link is a few posts up) with a part of your virtual funding.

If you experience any problems, just say and I'll do my best to help you out!

Sounds good and going to sign up here over the next few days and will let you know.

Stefant,

As a client I would like to see what transactions have been made to the portion of the account I made available. Do you, or anyone, know how I can log in to do this? There has got to be a way to do this I just can't seem to find it in Oanda.

Thanks!

Of course you can do that. Just go to https://fx2.oanda.com/ma/malogin.html and login with your FXGame username and password by clicking the FXManager *Client* link. You then select the sub account you want to see details for, and in the Account menu you'll find "Full Transaction History".

Hope this helps

This is so cool! I signed up for a client account as well. I'll be checking on it often so i expect to see some profits from you Mr. Stefant . lol

Thanks for funding my virtual managed account, ShaderZ - I received your paper money and accepted it. Don't check for trades in the next 24 hours. I was so busy this week with the company I just set up I didn't even have time to trade for myself. Will try and do some trades tomorrow, I hope you'll get to see good results.

The trades went pretty well in the first week (+7%) and in the second week also (+5%).

All the best,
Stefan

Good returns so far. Well done. I added more money last week.
After today I may need to withdraw money to cover my loses in the stock market.
Cheers

A crazy thought just came into my mind: wouldn't it be great if you could cover real losses with paper gains? hehe

Thats strange, I added $1k paper money but now theres only $755. But there hasent been any trades logged nor are there any open positions. did you make any losing trades? If so, i dont see anything logged on the client side.

P.S.

It just came to my attention that the currency that the money is allocated in is Euro's and the currency i funded the demo account was in Dollars. heh the dollar's value sure has gone DOWN :/

How'd you get a manager side account? I wanna test that side out too, what did you do to get one?
