I opened a demo account at Oanda a few weeks ago after researching brokers. Spreads are good, trades are instantaneous but their Java platform is giving me fits. I run Win98SE with Java 1.5 (latest release) and the Oanda platform interferes with everything on my system - little chunks of it appear in other apps and even on the desktop when Oanda itself is minimized making their plarform almost impossible to use. I posted to the platform problems section of their forum weeks ago and have yet to see a response from a tech guy. If their software won't run on my old machine, just tell me - then I'll at least know the reason. As things are, I wouldn't consider opening a live account with them. MT4 runs fine for me so I will only consider brokers that support that platform. Has anyone else had strange Java problems with Oanda?
