I tried myfxbook.com, but they only work with Oanda's metatrader, which the pool does not use.
myfxbook used to support Oanda (without metatrader) but not any longer as of late, and it's Oanda's fault.

"Guys, we’ve been waiting patiently for about a year now to receive an API from Oanda which will allow us to solve the expiring connection issue and remove any existing errors. Unfortunately, we haven’t received it and we’ve also been notified by Oanda that the current method we use to connect to Oanda accounts will stop working on January 31st"

I suggest you guys send a complaint to Oanda. That said, I don't know of any alternatives, sorry.

Oanda seems to be getting worse...

Hello,As many of you already know the decision to stop myFXbook and FXStat was not to upset or disrupt client activity, but it was solely done out of the security of client's accounts. The third party API will handle sharing account details with more level of control and security.Currently OANDA MT4 offers a temporary solution to this, but as biz and others have mentioned this is not the optimal solution. We are working on a solution that satisfies our client's sharing needs and will update when we have more information and a beta round ready to go

I am looking for a website that will track my pool account on Oanda. Any suggestions? I tried myfxbook.com, but they only work with Oanda's metatrader, which the pool does not use. Thanks for your help!
You can do that right here on Forex Factory with Trade Explorer. Get MT4 for Oanda and setup your trade explorer under your user profile.

Trailing stop question:

Let's say i open an order at 1.3000 place my Sl at 1.2950 and a Trailing Stop of 20 pips (1.2980).
This is what should happen: the price goes at 1.3020 and the TS become active.
This is what happened: the price went to 1.2980 and oanda closed the trade with the TS, not with the SL (it was at 1.2950)
Is it what happens to you? or is it just me? does exist a way to avoid this problem?
Thanks!

I believe the trailing stop is immediately active and moves tick for tick with price. I don't really use automated trailing stops, but I'm pretty sure that is how Oanda does it.

EDIT: Just verified, yes the TS moves tick for tick immediately from order entry as price moves in the given direction.

TS should become active when you have profit of 20 pips, if price keep moving up SL will follow pip by pip with 20 pips distance. If price moves down, SL does not move down with price.

What did happen to you is not right.

This isn't true. Oanda's trailing stop moves pip by pip as soon as the order is placed.

If is the way you said, then there is something wrong because trailing stop in MT4 is not supposed to function like that. It should be like what they explained in the HELP menu.

I tested my OANDA MT4, it acted like I just mentioned.

I placed a trade, enter a hard SL, then set trailing stop (200 points = 20 pips). SL does not change until I have 20 pips in profit, SL changed to break even and started following price in the direction of profit only and stayed when price pull back.

Fair enough, I was talking about the Java platform.
