I am the only one have bad connection with Oanda the last 3 days ?
Same problem here. It has never been so bad during the whole last year as in the last few weeks.

Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes (!) until an order is accepted, a market order is filled or a stop is modified. The submitt button will be greyed out after clicking and 0..5 minutes later the order form finally closes and the order is filled at current market price.

Yep, I've got the same thing over here with our friends at Oanda. Either poor connection or no connection. In my humble opinion, it is their customer service that completely SUCKS, in a situation like this. They do not answer their phones. It is one thing to have a technical issue, but it is another when they refuse to answer calls.

I will be diverting funds elsewhere unless they can figure out how to answer the telephone and make some sort of public acknowledgment of this situation. Especially when their platform becomes inoperable.

If you go over to the Oanda forums you'll be able to speak to reps directly and maybe get a quicker update on the 'issue'.

Oanda have always had connection problems for as long as I can remember, I gave up on them about 2 years ago and it was such a relief not to have to worry about connection problems any more, I could just focus on trading instead.

These problems always seem to happen in periods of high market volatility, if someone was a conspiracy theorist they could be excused for thinking it's done intentionally!

Have you taken a screenshot of it? Some have. You can save it as some kind of souvenir.
Or post it at Oanda forums....

I had connection problems, too. I could not login, reason : server busy
nice!
I am so used to the Oanda platforms. I can't stand Metatrader , it is just so messy to me. oanda is so easy-to-use and simple. Perhaps, they will come up with own downloadable platform. do u think it would help?

last week, I got: These was a communication error while attempting to confirm your transaction, and so on. It was during a news release, but still.

I am worried about its reliability.

wow, I would normally say to people "hey, it's a glitch so don't worry about it"...but then I looked at the bottom of the page and saw that there are similar threads since 2008...ouch!

When I'm not getting disconnected and told to reboot the platform I do!

I think that the web based Java platforms have less stability than the downloadable platforms.
