DislikedYou folks and your "regulated" brokers. I know you can't all be this naive. This is a constant issue with this broker, just look back in this thread. I had not one second of downtime today (or any other day, for that matter) with any of my "unregulated" brokers. The trading conditions are 1000 times better offshore. Everyone is so concerned about getting screwed offshore, but you allow yourselves to get screwed right here every single day. Oanda is not going to change as long as they cotinue to get away with it. Wake the fuck up!!!Ignored
Disliked{quote} Do you mean you posted about the problem in your blog. Oanda guy saw your post, then they called you and said they would amend it? You didn't call them or mailed them, but they did call you right away because they saw you were complaining in your blog?Ignored
Disliked{quote} Yeah, and the unregulated brokers land is all milk and honey, huh?Ignored
DislikedNo problems with Oanda live account. Long time trading with them on FXTrade, MetaTrader, and their advanced charts. Only thing I don't really like is the lot sizes they use aka "units". It's a small annoyance but I've dealt with it and MetaTrader lots so you have to convert which is not that terrible just makes things less simple. Trading copy trades on Simple trader becomes a similar non-uniform term but you get use to it.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Agreed. Problem with unregulated is: I can not deposit big amount of money with confidence. And if I make a lot of money, I am not sure I can withdraw it. I have seen many people complaining they cannot withdraw after multiply their acc several times.Ignored
Disliked{quote} I'm not mentioning broker names any longer, but there is a forum on baby pips which lists 3 trusted brokers based on user experience. I use all 3 of them. I always have my money within 2 days. I use crypto for withdrawal. As far as large amounts, I keep the majority of my trading capital in my own bank account as I only need 1/10 of the margin to execute the same size trade with a US regulated broker, so really no need to keep extremely large amounts with them. Just move capital from bank account when and if needed. My spreads are razor...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Really? I find the units make for tighter control over money management as well as calculating exact risk. Maybe it's just me. - RicIgnored
DislikedI am courious. What country are you guys trading from that keep having these disconnect problems? My Oanda (USA) is online all day and I never have those issue. I am talking about LIVE only not Demo. -RicIgnored
Disliked{quote} Its not about country. When I come here and say Oanda down, it is down, and my acc manager confirms it. Others US members (like Toshiba) confirm it. Yesterday it was down many times. Maybe you were not trading yesterday?Ignored
DislikedThis may have been brought up before and I'm sorry in advance if it has. I have been using Forex.com for about a year now and I keep seeing Oanda mentioned over and over again. I looked at their pricing and its very similar and I use metatrader 4 for my platform. Could anyone who has used both or knows a lot about them explain to me if I am at the wrong broker or the advantages that I might be missing out on. Thanks in advance.Ignored
