OANDA Discussion

Amazing arb setup right now..I don't think I've seen one like this..ever. I say be careful everybody.

my platform just crashed. HAHA! This is a funny day..Wow Oanda!

crash and bingo, on market

Anyone able to get filled at the off prices

wow Oanda

You'd get filled at the current market price.

my question is will they honor the trades at the off prices... You do pretty much sign your life away when you open an account.. I personally didn't touch it.

I have caught Oanda off market before but not with platform isssues.... my guess the trade would not go through, have also been on the opposite end and slipped.

Didn't touch it either.

i thought i was 1 of only few who experienced the crash/disconnection.
yesterday too, but today was much worst (i had difficulty connecting to Oanda for about 30-40minutes, aside from the other issues).

anyone filed a complaint?
does Oanda facilitate complaints regarding such issues?

Scotty B,
no i dont think they honor the trades at the off prices.
yesterday, i closed a trade (with the same price/connection issues), but my exit price was about 10-20pips away from the off price.
(anyone know if i should email Oanda about that? thanks)


are those both live feeds?
i noticed the same but i compared a live & a demo feed.

again 10 pips off quotes

Probably they want to tell us politely to find another broker. Any suggestions?

this is utterly useless every time I click anything I'm being DC'd I'm tempted to withdraw all my funds and open a spread bet account.

Wow 20 pips slippage and a frozen platform.

Let's see if i'll get the lost 7 bucks back. lol

These guys suck.

what a disgrace! just lost 5% through broker incompetence, and i was about to move all my trading capital to these guys...

what a fuckin piece of crap this is. the shittiest trading platform in the world.

again 30 pips off quotes

how difficult is it to just reboot all the fuxkin servers you Oanda morons??? Or maybe you outsourced that to India as well ? The guy in India is sleeping now right????

back to normal

This is f'ing ridiculous. I don't have a problem with widening spreads during news but when the platform disconnects me any time I try to do anything... well... that's a problem.

I'm wondering if this is truly just a technical issue. Today's volatility isn't that crazy, it's about like other times.. It's Friday though, so it's not the end of the world to me. Hopefully they learn from this and it doesn't happen again though. Oanda is supposed to be the Cadillac of retail FX b-r-o-k-e-r-s.
