I'm going to bed in total disbelief, the spread is stuck at 20 pips for almost 10 minutes now.
This is by far the worst thing I have every seen in my whole career until now from my broker

And volume is basicly zero because nobody wants to trade with that spread

2.0 pips here on Tradestation and 1.4 on MB Trading right now. Wasn't much worse during the news.
I don't care which way the market is going as long as it's going my way

I have sent a letter of complaint at Oanda. I am sitting in disbelief. I am talking to higher management.
I am closing my PC guys I will update you on the issue very soon. This is unbelievable and unacceptable.

I'm with Oanda for since 2007, I was with the US division even before the Canadian division came out!
I have never seen a spread stuck at 20 pips for more than 18 minutes AFTER NEWS.
They have done it tonight on GBP/USD.

Oanda: You have destroyed a lot of the trust I held in you today. I'm am currently speechless. I'm waiting for a response from higher management.
Spread widening is know and common. Something I have learned to live with during major news. It was compensated by precise execution.
I have never seen the spread stuck at 20 pips for 18 minutes before. This is unbelievable and making an non-tradable environment. What is going on!!???

One of the worst days of my life. I don't fear a loss of money. I fear my broker now.
The worst feeling. Even worse than losing millions.

That is odd Tony, good luck my man, I had no problems on Excel Markets (regarding spread) made a noob mistake that cost me some pips (entered late, should have spent time with my platform...)

Keep us up to date please Tony...

Thanks

I believe because new updates came from metatrader they had to change some code and there was a bug. But if Oanda has been working 100% for the last 10 years, I don't think you should be that worried Tony. I'm sure they corrected the code and it won't happen again in 10 years.

You can never be 100% sure where price will go, although to me price was so high and i've seen a lot news triggers shorting when this is the case. Don't take my word for it. Money management is key for this strat
