myfxbook used to support Oanda (without metatrader) but not any longer as of late, and it's Oanda's fault. "Guys, we’ve been waiting patiently for about a year now to receive an API from Oanda which will allow us to solve the expiring connection ...

You realize you just quoted a 7 year old post? Anyway, of these two I would definitely recommend Oanda.

You are absolutely correct. When I was new to this business, his material impressed me because it made a lot of sense. But I realized later that what he's preaching about is nothing more than commonsense. For example he talks about how individual ...

That is hardly impressive. How about you come back after at least two years of profitable trading? At least then you might be a little entitled to offer people advice on profitably trading for a living.

*slow clap* Somebody sure lost a lot of money trading at Oanda.

If you're unprofitable (i.e. if you can't produce a real quantifiable edge), then no "low leverage" will help you, only make you go broke much slower. That is what I do. 100:1 is the ideal leverage. To whoever said the only safe brökers are American ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

I always like it when an active member in a forum tells others "what are you doing here? this place sucks!"

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Non-US client here. Execution is good, deposits/Withdrawals work as expected, customer service is one of the best so far. I have used NT in the past but not with MBT. You'll probably find some NT/MBT users in the NT forums. Good luck

Some would give you free chips, free drinks, free food, not to mention free nights at the hotel that you could get as a bonus.

I already moved on to another bröker months ago, I just kept a smaller balance with Oanda for some long-term positions (which is not really my main focus).

Spreads are the "house edge". For a short-term trader/daytrader, they matter (and should matter) due to their influence in the long run. Let's say a person trades with bröker A with 1 pip average spread. This person: - has $10k in their account - ...

Whatever happened to the 0.9 spread on EUR/USD? Looks like it's been permanently raised (without telling clients). The dominant spread is no longer 0.9, it's higher for some reason. Okay I'm gonna admit it: Something has happened to Oanda, and I ...
