This is utter bullsh1t. Oanda has stated many times explicitely that they have no such limitation. One can hold as short a trade as one wants.

Oanda Forcing Customers To Hold Trades?

Oanda Interactive Brokers Currenex All of them run natively on Linux. For charting I recommend ProRealTime ($50 monthly fee) Netdania is usable also (free) Charting packages that work well through wine: QuoteTracker, Amibroker, SierraChart, MT4 I ...

Good Broker for a linux user?

You should rather say bucket shops. Real ECNs do execute fast, even during news and market crash.

Best place in the world to trade from?

Oanda is actually very good for scalping. There used to be some technical issues around the time they introduced 1click trading, but these are gone now for more than a year.

Which is the best broker for scalping?

With this one I have to agree Nevertheless, it would be useful if you shared your experience with better brokers. I have already mentioned one: IB. But they are not perfect either. Some things are better at IB, others with Oanda. Especially swaps, ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Well, all I have seen until now offer even worse conditions. It is actually very difficult to find a broker that pays interest both on unused margin and open trades, as Oanda does.. Sure, the interest rates and carry trade are not what they used to ...

Just call one, instead of betting. I'd like to know!

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Yes, I trade with them every day. I have not had much need to use their support, but I am aware of the widespread complaints about it. That said, those few times I needed it, my experience was, that if I managed to maintain my patience and staying ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Agreed. But it IS relevant if they blame others for being a loser or not. As I wrote above, it is not a shame to be a loser. But it is definitely a shame to blame others for being one.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Nice screenshot! Unfortunately I cannot comment on it, because I have never used IB FXTrader to trade FX with IB. BookTrader is the way to go IMO. I love to trade directly from the DOM, (that is why I love IB) Of course Interactive Brokers and NOT ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

If you want to read a balanced view, read my posts... HAhahahah... As I demonstrated here: url and here: url when there is something to complain I do complain. If someone (IMO) tries to get genuine help I try to help. If a complaint is not ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Haha... I am an experienced Oanda trader. I have experienced lag in their charts, slippage, and all that stuff people are complaining about. I myself have complained about them. I am a scalper and I know what spread and spread spikes mean. As I ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

BTW I repeat: I find Oanda is a good platform, but IB IS MUCH BETTER IF YOU HAVE 10k TO BEGIN WITH!!!! LOL!!!!

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

WTF are YOU wasting your time participating in this thread, if you are not an impotent loser???

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Here is the proof I was complaining about the lag in their charts when there still used to exist one: url url I can confirm that this problem has been resolved since then. If you need I can also provide the link where I complained about it at ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

LOL buddy...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

OK. What about me? I have shown you a genuine will to help, nothing aggressive, as I discribed here. url Instead of listening, you only showed interest to repeat your accusations that do not seem to be genuine at all. You do not even know that ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

The proof that I am not an Oanda rep., and that YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT I AM NOT ONE; is that when I still thought you were genuinely trying to get help, and I was genuinely trying to help you, I advised you to open an IB (Interactive Brokers) account ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

No, this problem is not going on any more. This is the best proof that jimbill is talking hearsay. The platform has not had that lag for more than a year now. I know, because I was one of those, who complained.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

No. Oanda is not even my main broker. I prefer to trade with IB, but Oanda is a decent backup solution for me.
