But if you trade over a reasonable TF ,using responsible leverage, no tricks whatsoever (if thats what you believe) can take your money from you. If you get spooked or tired out, and shit it, closing your trade ,thats YOU that did it, not them. If ...

I don't get where you're coming from.Does Oandas chart in any timeframe, look any different to any other brokers chart? Yes,the terms at which you enter into a contract with them may be particular but unless you're scalping ultra low TFs I don't ...

You REALLY don't see it ,do you? If price moves fast enough,your 40pip sl means bugger all. You end up with a negative balance and that negative balance is amplified by the amount of leverage YOU have decided to use.That loss is then shared amongst ...

Don't let my fellow Rugby League team mates hear you calling me Jenny! I do absolutely agree with deathbait.I've no idea when the last time was that negative balances were created,and,I suspect,neither do you.I would imagine it happens fairly ...

deathbait.... I have to agree with every word you've written.

Oandas spreads being variable leave a lot to be desired if timing is critical to you but I've tried stacks of brokers over the years and they are head and shoulders above the rest in almost all areas. One thing that does piss me off is the 20€ ...

As far as I understand it, a MM simply guarantees to "make the market" i.e guarantees to buy or sell at a given price. They may or may not have to pass that on to the market depending on their own positions.This is why,as I understand it, you get ...

I find no difference at all with the spreads.The difference in candles would only be apparent on H4 and above due to the server time being different.

They may be MM'S but they have to have liquidity providers.If I'm not mistaken Oandas is Morgan Chase. I'm sure Oanda took a hit last week,as did all the others, just they can afford to off-load the negative balances into their positive portfolios. ...

At the end of the day, you have to realise that the salvation army don't run a brokerage so if you want to trade you've got to pick the best of a bad bunch.And thats OANDA in my opinion.In 10 years of trading I've tried shit loads and none come ...

Yup.About right. I've steered clear of CHF and JPY for ages now but I have an account with Dukascopy as well as Oanda and back in October I got an email from them saying they were reducing EUR/CHF leverage to 1.10. I remember thinking at the time I ...

Haha!! Fuckin brilliant! Take it you got your arse shagged by the SNB last week ?

How it affects you probably depends on how you trade.I trade over weeks/months and exact price levels are not critical to me, so how exactly does Oanda screw me? Yes the variable spreads are a pain in the arse but I just wait until they are ...

OANDA Discussion

I've been with Oanda for about 7 yrs and had my fair amount of whinges ,not least concerning their "dynamic" spreads but after the last week you have to say they really are the market leaders. Yes ,they are market makers, but at the end of the day ...

They always have.Just open a sub account and split your funds
