Oanda...one click order?

I have heard that Oanda is one of the few brokers that has this feature, where just 1 click and the order is through. This is, of course, as opposed to the standard two click order where you hit buy/sell then a box comes up asking you to specify lot size, etc. One click orders can be pretty useful during news.. but I cant find this feature on Oanda's software. Anyone use it?

Thanks!

Oanda does make you confirm your order, though that can be turned off in User Preferences.

Usually you should be prepaired for fast market and have orders.
If you just wanna enter because you see that the market is fast...

Tick the 'keep window open' box in the buy/sell window and put confirmations off. Have separate windows for buy and sell open all the time. True 1 click trading.

Close with opposite order instead of using the 'close trade' option and you know what you get.

but if you keep a market buy window up all the time, will the quote in the box change? sometimes u get messages like 'market price has changed' or something like that..

Of course it changes live all the time. There are no messages like that on Oanda's platform. There are no requotes.

Please try trading with Oanda's free game account instead of guessing.

rr112 is correct, you can get a error message.

The quote price constantly changes, but your stop loss and take profit does not, and so your stop loss can become invalid, creating an error box, can remember what it says exactly though.

So Oanda does have 1 click orders, so long as you click a buy and/or sell order first ....... and that price does not move beyond your SL or TP......... lol
