I'm beginning to get disappointed with Oanda. More and more fails on their platforms and their recent opening closeing policy changes.

5 pips spread on EU on friday close and sunday open is too much.

Hi All
I have been using MT4 for the past one year. Of late i am repeatedly facing the problem with closing or modifying my trades. On clicking on the modify / close trade icon i get the no connection message. My internet is working fine i can see the dynamic movements in the price. Does any one have any fix to this issue ?
Regards
M

now Oanda lost 23million in clients assets http://forexmagnates.com/june-2012-c...resting-facts/, and sudden death of its official forum, quiet of fxunity..., isn't necessary to bring Michael back? Like Apple need Jobs.

That's only half the story - Oanda looks pretty good to me... (FXCM ummmmm... but Citi will be on my list wherever they ditch the boston tech MT4 EOD sync bridge)

yep if you use citifx mt-4 boston tech bridge they do a EOD second look so you might thought you made 20k after citi do there 2nd look they can cut that profit down to 15k

Hi guys,

I'm demoing on OANDA for a few weeks now and I have a question about the webbased trading platform:

I'd like to put my SL to break even after I've reached 20 Pips. Is this possible?

Its possible but you have to do it manually.

To do it automatic you have to be using Oanda API, thats 600 dollars month or having a high volume of trading (which I don't remember who much).

Argh, don't like that.
I think many people use this approach in general and I don't think it's that hard to program...

Thanks

@Zkf, do some simple research to get the overall view before wetting your pants. It's a drop after 8 months gain. Horizontal lines show most recent average.

And AFAIK the data includes US division only. As you possible know there are also an European, two Asian divisions (Singapore and Japan) and a Canadian division. Could it mean that some funds have moved to other divisions? It could.

The only thing you could lose is your one and only one cheesy sock. Actually that would be a good thing because it would remove all the stench around here. BTW you genius http://www.ross.net/notes/loose.shtml

@A_3,

Yes Oanda has multiple branches, but US is the biggest one and account almost 70%~80% client's asset, if I am not mistaken.

Oanda is a great company, but on the market side it seems lost advantage a lot to competitors, like FXCM, Gain, Alpari, that's probably why Michael is oust from CEO chair. But I thought they may just need a market team, Michael is part of the symbol of the DNA which define this company.

Such obvious decline of client's asset, and sudden death of their forum,etc, it reflect the management structure change behind the scene, and I don't see it as a good sign. Just my 2 cents.

Regards,

Where are your facts? Don't state assumptions. I don't have facts so show them.

Again assumptions. Provide facts.

Most experienced people have left the forum and have gone to a hidden communication tools because of a multi-account forum troll. And as mentioned that decline of client assets after 8 months gain can mean anything. But it's up to you to wet your pants. Mine are dry as always.

Got all my money out of Oanda 2 weeks ago because I was peeing in my pants!

Guys like you with a "macho" attitude tend to have their full account blocked by brokers like REFCO, MFG and PFG.

I prefer to have my pants wet but my powder dry
So, you think you have rights? LOL

so true, only newbies defend this broker.
Maybe but at least their spreads are tight. At anytime brokers are obviously not hedging their trading book , knowing 99% of their clients will eventually bust. Hence one can't prove/disprove whether that last trade actually touched the global forex interbank pool.

Hello,

If I click the Buy or Sell Button I cannot see the order window. It is open, but not on the visible screen...
What can I do ?

Maybe a simple solution, that has nothing to do with Oanda itself, but it will help me a lot.

Thank you !

Best regards Tschim
