OANDA was one of the best FX brokers out there a few years ago, its really a shame how their services have deteriorated. It all started when Michael Stumm left as CEO in 2012 and unfortunately, it seems to me that they will never be the same again. ...

I like the new UI and never had problems with freezing/restarts so far. I agree that the charts suck, but I use Netdania app for that anyway.

Why? I think it has improved quite a lot.

There has been a 1-10 Reverse Stock Split, because the NYSE does not allow stocks to trade below $1 for too long. So they bundled 10 shares into a single one.

I have asked once customer support to delete sub-account for live account and it was not possible. So I don't think it will be possible for demo either.

GBP/USD spread larger than 6.0 for more than 10 minutes now. Other brokers have normal spreads. The only event was Initial Jobless Claims at 12:30 GMT, but that didn't move the market a lot and does not justify such a huge spread for such a long ...

Spreads at OANDA terrible right now. Almost 5 for GBP/USD, AUD/USD >4, USD/JPY and EUR/USD around 2.5. I know liquidity is not the best, but other major brokers have pretty much normal spreads.

If anyone else is interested in the FX market structure, here are two good papers worth a read.

Is anyone here an institutional trader?

Thanks a lot Skenobi! It seems it's all not so complicated as I thought it was. Regarding the ECNs: I meant a threat to the e-platform business of the banks. For example, more clients choosing the professional ECNs for smaller trades that do not ...

Is anyone here an institutional trader?

Ok, so when prices rise at Deutsche's platform because they just executed a large buy order for a client, it immediately rises on neutral platforms like Reuters which display the banks best bid/ask and then the other banks adjust to that as well. I ...

Is anyone here an institutional trader?

Thanks Skenobi. I would still be curious though about the details of how the order would be executed in the market. If we take the example from my previous post, would Deutsche Bank just take the opposite side of the trade or would they actually ...

Is anyone here an institutional trader?

Just got an email from OANDA that 100:1 leverage is now available (previously, the max. was 50:1). I don't know if this applies to all divisions ex-USA, I only know about the European division. Also, there wasn't the option to change leverage ...

Hi skenobi, I have a question about the FX market structure, that I was hoping you could answer. I understand how prices change for exchange-traded products, but I was wondering how it happens in the FX spot market. For example, if a large fund buys ...

Is anyone here an institutional trader?

I know they have MT4, but I happen to like fxTrade. It would be a really good platform if they just could fix the crash problems. Especially since OANDA likes to tell everyone that they are not just a broker, but also a fin tech company. It's a bit ...

OANDA Discussion

I'll give it a try, thanks.

They are overall a solid broker. I'm happy with trade execution, order fills and the number of tools they offer. However, despite calling themselves a tech company+broker, their platforms are not very good. fxTrade is still based on Java, which is ...
