If the platform freezes or is otherwise inaccessible, will Oanda now allow clients to have their positions closed via chat or phone like every other broker? There seems to be no mention of this very important detail. You have to wonder why there is ...

Oanda goes Metatrader

Started trading live last Thursday, one day after wiring my deposit. Execution is pretty ok; have had no requotes thus far. The distance from market-price you can set your TP or SL from is just 10 pips (versus 50 pips in, say, FXpro). I'm just ...

FinFX opinions

I'm testing the waters at FinFX with a "normal" account (leverage 200:1) very soon. Using CashbackForex, too, as IB. Would appreciate any heads up from you, guys.

Thanks, Chris. Will look forward to it.

GoMarkets Discussion

Hi, Chris. Up till now, I still don't get why GoMarkets (and Vantage) can't take clients from the Philippines while other Australia-based brokers do. Maybe you can do a good job of explaining this better. It's a bit like seeing other people feasting ...

Hi, grandpost: Would you mind showing by way of a chart example, how you use fibo time zones? Thanks!

I did resort to using the Chat function after my futile attempts to get the platform to load via the Desktop as well as thru the FXtrade website. The customer service agent told me s/he could not close my trade for me; my only option was to log on ...

One thing puzzles me: I just noticed that swap fees are applied on BOTH long and short positions. What am I missing here?

In all fairness, their Customer Service does a pretty good job. My withdrawal was processed quickly, and to my great relief, the money was in my bank account by the end of the following business day.

I've decided to leave Oanda for good. Last week, I wanted to get out of a losing trade but could not access the platform for more than two hours. After I was finally able to log on, I withdrew my account balance.

Does anyone know of an IB that offers rebates at IBFX (Australia)? If so, it would be much appreciated.

IBFX Australia Discussion

I hope I'll have the same positive experience with IBFX (Aus) as you do with the US counterpart, hayseed. And if memory serves, IBFX was the only MT4 broker that issued a definitive statement that they do not use the virtual dealer plug-in when the ...

I had always meant to ask if he was THAT Druckenmiller or if he was just paying "hommage" to the guy by using his name as his handle? Are we now to assume it's the former?

EURUSD

I agree with the above. The most recent foul-up I had was finding out that the market had moved adversely against me by many pips while the quote did not change. It was only because I had a MT chart running alongside that made me notice the ...

OANDA Discussion

That's why it would be good to see Oanda's rumored plan to offer the MT platform push through. I really can't understand why some people are strongly opposed to having that as an option (other brokers such as Citi offer clients that choice), judging ...

OANDA Discussion

Thanks for sharing, naatha. Is it your opinion that the E/U pair has reversed to the upside? There are those who think (me included) that it still has one leg left to go to complete the five-wave down-move from the Nov. 2009 high.

Elliott Wave Trading

How do you see the E/U price-action unfolding on the daily chart? Are we still on Wave 4 or is this upwave already the start of a reversal?

Though Oanda has not confirmed or deny it, it would seem that they do plan on integrating MT4. What's not to like if one could have a choice of either using the present Java-based platform (limited as it is in many respects) or MT4?
