It depends if you're Flemish or not.
Haha!

What about my trades? I've heard Oanda does not like people gong in for a few pips at a time using the 50:1 leverage. Will it be okay for me?

They won't have any problems with a few pips. in fact as far as i know they are the only one that will allow you to close a trade with only 0.1 pips gain.

How long do your trades remain open on average?

Just like any market maker, they will eventually have problems with your style of trading if your trades remain open for 1 minute or less on average I think (not sure about the exact number). They mention this somewhere.

This is because it makes it difficult for them as a market maker to accurately hedge their exposure with their liquidity providers when clients open and close orders that fast.

Oanda FIFO Starting May 30 2011
http://fxtrade.oanda.com/help/close-trades-fifo

If FIFO affects your trade you are a loser!! Plain simple

Professional traders, the ones that consistently make money, don't average down but scale up.

Some wanna be here are coding their own disgrace......and Oanda LOVES it they are the true liquidity providers to their system !!

Top traders add to winning positions when they are wrong they get out...that simple!!

I am not a professional, but I always scale up. You phantom of the pit!

The way I understand the rule is that even by scaling up with the same trade value your initial position will be closed.

Whoever made this rule should be drowned in a barrel full of diarrhea poo.
I found a penny today. That's +100 pips for me.

Not really, First In First Out . It is enforced on the closing. The theoretical objective is to discourage people already in a hole to keep digging...

Why would they monitor us? i mean we do have freedom to express ourselves. And beside a certain "semi-aquatic mammals" review has been pretty good to say the very least.

Calm down. Nobody is monitoring you. He/she just said they're monitoring this thread. I'd find it strange if they wouldn't be interested in what their clients are saying about them out here.
