And also don't even Try trading around high traffic times. the connection drops whenever your placing a trade. the spread is large during off hours because of those robot traders. and customer service is not bad but could be better. I haven't had these problems with Oanda
Despite what some oanandians say here I'm a fair person. I gave them a honest shot and my experience was terrible.

Is this a isolated case? Perhaps. But anyone that takes some time to read through the thread will see a whole bunch of people complaining about the same issues so.....draw your own conclusions.

It is possible to make money with them despite the issues? Definitely yes.

Is it worth?

I don't think so, fighting the market is enough for me, platform issues end up screwing your concentration. I don't believe in paying premium and getting below average service.

Now about their phone calls ...thats something else!! I really don't like possibility of getting my account closed because I'm doing good money.

That is exactly what I feel. I opened live account with OANDA MT4 and had been using demo for about 2 weeks. Everything went well, good spread, etc.

The first day I started live trading. My first trade get caught thru the news announcement and boom.. the spread went to the roof, 20 pips and hang on for a while. I have to move my SL out of the way. The spread flare up now and then at news announcement like this does not suit my trading style. So I just withdrawn my money with just one trade with them.

Sorry to interrupt the mud fight. Now go on, I enjoy it. http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

lol. I had the same reaction. Oh well...

It's funny how most new people just assume spread widening has no effect on their stops. Just goes to show that they still don't understand bid/ask order filling mechanics. And when they get burnt due to their ignorance, they just blame the bröker. That's always easy.

Ok...people are asking me in private what broker I trade and or suggest.

If you search my old posts you will see that I do not suggest brokers and I don't say what broker I trade with.

Why?

First I don't suggest any broker because I don't know them. I had that first experience with a MM bucket shop and thats it. I come here and argument when people say half truths or try to hide something (like Jason...) beyond this anyone can search my old posts and see that I always stated that if you know how to trade and have reasonable expectancies you can make money in virtually any broker out there. They can make your life miserable but unless they kick you out you should be able to stick on them if you aim for the 100 plus pips movement.

Second, I don't say what broker I trade with because my main account is traded directly via banks. And a second smaller account that is actually traded via a brokers requires a minimal account away beyond what people trade here so what is the point?

Now some Oandians are already playing the "brag" card just because I stated that I don't find a 20 grand account to be a big account. If I tell you guys my brokers name, one will be able to see that even the minimal account bracket there are away bigger than that and than......well...and than I will feel like bragging !!

PNs from fantasy island now, huh?
Who cares what broker you are suggesting. Probably one from the virgin islands.

Well, yes, 20 grand isn't big. The problem is it's simply too big for you except on demo.

I know about OANDA's widening spread. I know about OANDA info on spread on their website. The information is everywhere.

I open live account just to try it myself instead of taking the words from all these negative & positive posts. The test run on demo account went OK. It just happened on a live trade.

I prepared for that. I did not lose any money, but end up with some profit instead, just not as much as I would like. It just does not fit my trading style. Why are you guys so defensive about it?

If you enjoy trading with them, it's your opinion. Good for you.

hey Chad I don't know about your level of experience as a trader but you can't actually blame Oanda or any other broker out there for spreads during news time. thats a matter of life or death for brokers. They cant fulfill your order if the liquidity is not there.

If you insist in trading the news you better go to Vegas. It is pure gambling.

Even banks can't guaranty a price if some event shakes the ground. thats why a thingy called options was invented

Let's see ... wait a minute ... short profile look (don't tell him that it is also visible at the top of his posts) ... oh, what do I see there ... that little kid is registered since Jul 2009.
