I use a few brokers and oanda is one of them.
All of them are regulated and all of them are good and bad for different reasons, I adapt to them.
I choose not to chase the bad "guys" in a game that is bigger then me... but use what they offer at my advantage, controlling the risk.
A bit like in trading... no point to blame the broker in this case, you all saw the disclaimer.
I keep long term position on oanda, don't get damaged by the spread, and I take advantage of some of the good things like not expiry and quick and flexible position sizing on multiple trades....
If I need low spread, or mt4... or the news trade.. I use another broker, easy, no stress.
It is not always bad to trade through a market maker. Nobody is forced towards unregulated brokers.
