I have no knowledge about trading those. Are they 24 hours open? Or is my position liquidated by the end of the day?

The "they slide" line does not fit into the line there, max number of characters reached. Nice one

the volume is in that contract, so not really telling what is happening, and need to change once a while.

Formerly posted by Merlin:

[b]oanda is a good broker, with one exception. ya know how they promote their "perpetual interest payments"? well, in reality that hurts your bottom line. youll notice that brokers always "pay" less interest than they "charge". therefore, in the retail forex world, interest works against you. when you put your money in the bank and they give you perpetual interest, that is in your favor. but in your forex account it works in reverse...you are "paying" perpetual interest. for oanda to be promoting this on their...

It is true that in the rates market, like in any market, there is a bid/ask spread. Brokers do mark up that spread - in the case of Oanda its around 50 basispoints for eur and usd. Its not some evil scheme by Oanda. You can question if that markup is too big, but compared to other brokers rolls, its competitive.
