At https://fxtrade.oanda.com/ under "Transparent" Oanda says:

"an open forum where every compliment and complaint is there for all to see".

The following messages have been removed from Oanda's Forum:

I will repeat the message, since you did not answer my two (2) questions:

Regarding the regulatory aspects, let me quote one of the pages on your web site:

http://www.oanda.com/site/oanda/fxweek_03262001.shtml

March 26, 2001: "Olsen said as the service is only trading spot FX, and not forwards or futures, it does not need to be externally regulated. But he says OANDA will behave "as if we are regulated", and investors will have some protection from the risk management tools on offer."

Let me ask you one more question:

You have physical presence in Toronto. Are you regulated in Canada?

What is very nasty is that you disqualify others based on the way how good or bad they speak, as you say, "Engrish". My native language is not English but I can use it somehow. Did you bother to learn any other language?

Most of the people in the developing countries do speak "Engrish", as you say, but I do not think you should laugh at that. It tells a lot about you.

In one of your messages, you also say that such "Engrish" may be acceptable in "Scarborough" but not in New York. OK, understood. How come Rome, Italy is shown as your location?

NOTE: It seems the second message is back online, but they have removed another message about censhorship that I could not save fast enough.

I am sorry, but what does this have to do with anything?

I don't think so. Oanda has many good points, not only "micro-lots".

I agree that this is just a matter of marketing competitions. Just like high school students compete each other for anything they like.

One of the good thinks about Oanda is that they don't advertise themself anywhere! They don't go hunting clients like other companies.

Yes. I am sure every company -not just forex broker/market maker but any company- has its own good and limitations in their services. The most important thing is how they can use their "good things" to attract new clients. And the clients theirself that will decide which company is the most suitable to fullfil their need.
