Nice for Scalpers to know about OANDA 10 replies
DislikedI am developing a scalping system and I'm looking for a broker which offers tight spread.
I was thinking of going with Oanda?
Anybody has any thoughts on their service, execution, and most important of all, spreads.Ignored
DislikedMaximum leverage is 50:1. I wish it gives the choice for leverage upto 200:1.
Otherwise, Oanda is great. Simple, superb.Ignored
DislikedNever had a problem with OandA and like Xaron I've traded up to 1,000,000 units with no problem. From my understanding you can get instant fills with up to 2,500,000 units (if you trade more than 1,000,000 units please verify with OandA).
I don't scalp often, but I've never had a problem when I do (under 5 minute scalps).Ignored
Dislikedi guess it is 10 M for the Euro
I am more than ok with 1:50 leverage but i wish they dont wide spreads that much at news ...Ignored
DislikedI've read back now through the last 6 months to a year of posts about O and A and they seem to be very legit.
The most legit I would say of all the brokers for small traders...The ONLY REAL COMPLAINT EVER has been that the spread will change at certain times...BUT you can see exactly what the spread is at all times...
I'm not a news trader either AT ALL and I'm really more concerned with quick execution, the site always being available, a phone rep that speaks clearly/answers and quick access to deposit/withdrawal...
There is ZERO complaints...Ignored

DislikedHello,
Can somebody tell me for how long the spreads are widening in the news time? (before and after the news)
Thank youIgnored
