What I am curious about is how the brokers react to the way we trade. Isn't news spike trading regarded as toxic order flow due to the inability of the broker to entirely hedge the position? I would not be surprised if the execution or slippage changes. I am not a long term customer of Oanda but I suppose I will be need to monitor the execution closely. Currently I haven't noticed anything critical and I do not insinuate that they act unlawful but it's an obligation to check if everything is within bounds. It's just part of the business. If anyone is also trading using Oanda I would appreciate if we can compare price feeds during news once in a while. I do log every tick using their Java api so if they ever should cheat we should figure it out quickly.
