Haven't heard anything bad from Oanda overall except something about that they close your losing positions at a certain point whether you like it or not and that is why I did not chose them.
The only reason they would do this is that your account hasnt got enough Margin to cover the position. I have had a live account with them for close to 24 mths and have held a couple of positions for months (none loosing though) without problem!!!

I would like to open a small account and have read than Oanda seems to be the place to do so. It seems you guys give Oanda a better review than FXCM, Forex.com, and other brokers that allow small deposits.

Oanda's charting is not the best. What charting system do you use if you don't want to use theirs? Is there free real-time charting available or do you have to pay?


I've also read that some brokers will prevent you from closing out profitable positions, how can that be? Or that some brokers will just have you close your account once you're...

Hi, i use oanda platform with Fxcm charts. For Oanda pairs that are not offered by Fxcm, i use http://www.dailyfx.com/charts/forexpowerchart/

I've spent an hour searching for the link where they review Oanda and state that they close your positions even if you have not used your margin up. I will search more.

Since there are endless posts on the web about constant connection issues with Oanda, does anyone know if you can call them to execute your trades if you can't connect? I'm thinking if you can't, then they must be dealing against you.

Hey guys. Does oanda or any other broker talk to your country's IRS for the money you make through trading? Or you have to do it yourself?
