I'm done with Oanda.

I have not had any problems in general, except the disconnection few days ago. The reasons I left them are because its spread is becoming more and more outrageous and low leverage.

Spoke with them, had the account blocked for the third time in a week, turns out it was not someone trying to steal my login (connected once through a wifi without vpn, my bad) but a bug in the mobile app.


Was told to not use the mobile app because an update is due next week, that will solve this,

I think Oanda is good for traders with training wheels.

Oanda is freezing! I mean frozen, no flow like ice! A real bad broker for range bars! Worst than fxcm! which is really bad!

I just noticed that the Oanda desktop platform now offers a New York close for daily candles!

Anyone ever recall Onada ever offering Single currencies for trade?

Example: Just the EUR alone. its sort of like an index tracking the euro against a basket of currencies.
Where you can either go long or short.

I remembered them offering it but cant seem to find it now.

Any kind souls out there seen it before?

Today, Oanda is working very good with range bars, not freezing. I will continue with Oanda; however, I did opened an account with Gainsy; just in case, the freezing continue.

This morning Oanda is freezing my range bars chart! However, in the time chart bars the template works fine. The problem is that I do not trade in time charts.

  1. 7.7
  2. 6.0
  3. 3.4
  4. 3.6

Hey Oanda, take a guess what the above are. They are spread quotes on NZD/JPY right before 6pm EST. Its a BAD, BAD look when you are getting KILLED by over 4 pips difference by Alpari and and Forex.com.

Might want to look into that... Just sayin.

Does Oanda offers range bars in their platform? I don't see it.

Are you using a EA for range bars in metatrader?

Really 7.7 pips the spread and a 4 pip spread difference with other brokers?!... Are you satisfied with the other brokers you mentioned, because I've been looking around for some brokers that allow small deposits, just to try them and my luck out...

We've been here before.

But I am relieved that the latest adjustment makes the swap on a EUR/CHF long only marginally negative. Holding a EUR 2,5m long will cost slightly less than EUR 2 per day. A few months ago it was costing more than EUR 25 a day.

I have been with Oanda for the last 7 months and am mostly happy with the spreads but looking at MBT, ATC, Interactive Brokers to get away from DD accounts.
Anyone have experience with other brokers with better spreads ?

all ya need to do is get screwed from runaway spreads and you'll move on. MBT is where I am and will stay after some unsatisfactory trading spreads with them..

EU 09 - 1.1 stable. News goes up but not like Oanda. Their site has list of spreads vs. other brokers.
