Placing Orders and Charting with Oanda

Hello traders, just a curious question due to technical difficulties I am having in trading with the MT4 platform. Im with the Oanda broker, and they just came out with there MT4 platform and I dont fancy using it for placing orders, the only reason I like it is it is a lot easier to use for the charting aspect as apposed to the Java server platform. However, all I want to know is if I am trading the same thing if I were to use the charts on my live Oanda MT4 account and then place the order on my Oanda platform in reflection of my technical analysis on the MT4 chart.

**I apologize for any of those who think this should be posted elsewhere. I feel that I had to ask that here, I have ben trying to get accepted to the Oanda forum for a couple months and I have had no response.

Any help much appreciated!

I think you figured it out till now, but yes.

You can be logged in in Fx trade AND MT4 account,
but as i know, the MT4 data feed isnt the same,
you see that especially if you trade M1 and the Orders are
treated preferred if they are entered over FXTRade.

Or did i misunderstood you ?

The spreads on Oanda's Java platform, and its MT4 (live) platform are identical.

So in theory, yes you'd be trading the same thing (same pair/same price).

As far as other variables such as execution time etc. between the two platforms, I wouldn't be able to speak to their correlation or lack thereof.

Yes thank you guys for your responses. Well after a year of trading and testing I cant decide still, I switch it up once and while transferring fund back in forth between MT4 and FXtrade. Seems to be fine either way.
