hmm i came to this forum to see if anyone else is having problems.. im not gettin any data feed at the moment.. my limit orders are taking over a minute to show up.. its funny how all this happens right when the market gets volatile.. ive been trading with oanda live for over 3 years now.. never experienced this before and the tech support isnt helpful.. its been doing this for a couple days..
anyone else experiencing this ?
I also had problems with order fills but Oanda were saying that everything is OK with them. Today probably their servers freezed after the quick [rice move and they finally decided to fix the problem.
as of right now.. oanda won't even let me put on any trades.. everything works fine .. but when i click submit for market orders or limit orders it wont go through
I am also experiencing the problem in Hungary.... I have been trading with Oanda 6 years on now... What is happening today has never happened before, but connection quality is not optimal since weeks on now. Today is dirt bad, unacceptable... poor service.... . It is in obvious correlation with volume... Oanda servers just can't handle it... they are denying... Just load java console you will see, frequent connection resets, time between submitting a "one click order" (market order) until the order is sent out to server "request to server" takes between 5-20 secs...(even if default bounds are set to one tick you can get a slip of 20!!!!!!) UNHEARD, then the time to fill "do market order" takes another 5-20 secs.... alltogether almost a minute.... IMPOSSIBLE TO TRADE... BEAWARE... DONT TRADE...
All we can do is to send e-mails to our dear broker Oanda and let them know how oanderful they are. The next step after another server problem is to transfer our accounts.
I've also had major connection issues today, co-inciding with market news and momentum! Time delay in opening and closing trades. I contacted to complain but just received a standard ping-on email.
I'm quite shocked, been with Oanda for 3 years and only experienced occasional platform issues, but today stretched coincidence and is bordering on crooked!
Now connection is up again and running fine, stable for most of the time, with infrequent drops in quality.... keep a close eye on it... never trade when connection is not fully green ... if that keeps happening one must seriously consider moving accounto to a RELIABLE broker... what happened today is resembels me the worst of bucket shop brokers, ... I or betetr to say all of Oanda's customers can just hope that Onada is not going turn to a bucket shop. Lets keep each other posted on this issue .... this is deadly serious issue in electronic trading.... the nightmare of electronic traders.
