UPDATE

The quote in most news sources (FT/Bloomberg) and my FXCM feed appears to be the front month price (nearest unexpired futures contract) where as the Oanda price is the spot price.

Most commodity prices quoted by news sources is the front month quote.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Being Canadian I don't have access to see any of Oanda's CFDs and such.. so I can't say for sure.

But what you mentioned would make sense and fit, so long as Oanda doesn't talk about monthly rollover, contango, or backwarden in their product brief... which are principals that apply to price as you roll a front month's future contract forward to the next active contract before your current contract expires.

Hey, first post.

I've been with OANDA for over ten years. I really like their platform. Wish they didn't kill FXManager though. Are there any other brokers out there that trade in UNITS vs LOTS like most and that offer PAMM accounts? I enjoy being able to adjust capital risked to the penny on each trade.

TIA

Welcome to the forum with that special post.
What is your forex managing company name?

Thanks for the welcome. No official name yet. Up until recently the focus has just been on friends/family. Had to pause though with the demise of FXManager. Any ideas on brokers that trade in units instead of lots?

Cheers

Reddit isn't a trader's community, it's a general social site. I'd say just 1 in 10 being aware of forex, let alone understand what it is, would be on the high side. A lot of the users asking questions were avid readers of Reddit AMA's, not FX traders.

The interesting bits were K talking about going IPO, changes to MT4 interface to make it way more enhanced than regular MT4, and switching their quoting method to better cater to large orders.

The problem is maybe the moderators that would not let a more incisive question go through.
So, you think you have rights? LOL

Perhaps someone could help me with the resetting in Oanda of stop loss/ targets on a trade already made. I can get to the page which has the details. I set them and then what. In the instructions help page it says press the modify button...but there isn't one ??

It is possible to deposit 30€ on oanda? What abaout leverage, should I use 1:50? Can I change it in future? I don't know much about Alpari, but I'm in doubt between oanda and alpari to deposit this 30€. What's your opinion?

Thank you

Anyone having trouble logging in at OANDA? I know it's maintenance and you won't be able to access the platform, but shouldn't you able to be at least log-in at the "Secure Sign In" webpage? It keeps telling me "incorrect username and password combination" error even though I have it right. Tried the java log-in page and it says a different result (it says can't log in and connection timed out). I tried using the "forgot password" option but there's still no message from OANDA in my inbox.

Either it's still maintenance period or my account was hacked. Anyone having the same problems?

Am I talking Chinese?

The Oanda forum post says "It's Maintenance: Friday - 5:30pm to Saturday - 11:59pm EST"

Here it is again in bold letters "fxTrade, OANDA MT4 and fxUnity Maintenance: Friday - 5:30pm to Saturday - 11:59pm EST PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN EXTENDED MAINTENANCE. OANDA will be performing maintenance on the fxTrade, OANDA MT4 and fxUnity servers beginning the evening of Friday, February 1, 2013 at 5:00pm EST until Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 11:59pm EST. During this time fxTrade, OANDA MT4 and fxUnity will not be accessible. There is always the possibility that scheduled testing may take longer than originally anticipated, so please note that the above times may vary. "

What's the time now? It's 01:51pm EST. So 10 hours to go.
