Which MM or ECN brokers can beat Oanda Spread?

Speed is only an issue when using/combining 2 data sources in your setup. If you are using chart data & tradeable prices from the same source, in MT4 at least, the price changes on the chart & the order ticket occur at the same split second, so they ...

Oanda's quick pricing

For full autotrading yes. I would guess oanda also make money from their arrangements with esignal & fxspyder. Metatrader is the "universal" industry standard charting platform in forex. It is how it should be - free to use, user friendly, versatile ...

Oanda's quick pricing

No i dont. when you use an MT4 broker like alpari, your quotes match the chart price all the time as they are the same - within the same MT4 application. The reason there is a lag with ikon royal MT4 charts to the oanda prices, is because these are ...

Oanda's quick pricing

The major point is, oanda should be providing all this for free, & should have been doing for a very long time but have chosen not to. Very shady.

Oanda's quick pricing

To me, the spread is not the major issue. Sure a 0.9 pip spread looks attractive, but whats its use if - due to the fact that oanda does not have adequate charts, & you have to use charts that lag the oanda pricing from a 3rd party - you come out of ...

Which MM or ECN brokers can beat Oanda Spread?

Thanks Aja yes most seem to be runnig on 5 digits now - which is a good thing - but i dont want to see the 5th digit on the chart - as it slows down my though process etc. I told MT4 to include a tick box to enable/disable the 5th digit in charts - ...

Lightening FAST MT4 platform needed. Suggestions please.

Hi 7bit Timeframe has nothing to do with it. I trade off 4 hour charts & am not a scalper. But even if i traded off daily or weekly charts, i would want to eliminate lag. Timeframe isnt relevant. Whatever timeframe charts you are looking at to base ...

Does anyone know of an MT4 package that had ECN prices streamed into it - like currenex or hotspotfx? But also, if you were trading with MB Trading through the MT4 platform, there would be no lag - the chart prices & quotes would match all the time. ...

Oanda's quick pricing

Hi pescador yes the oanda charts suck & are not fit for purpose. Basically they do not provide an adequte charting application - this says a lot about the company. The idea of trading 10,000,000 units through a broker that does not provide an ...

Oanda's quick pricing

Can anyone recommend an MT4 platform/datafeed that you have found is quick in terms of price updates, compared to slower, more lagging datafeeds that you have compared it to. I still use IKON ROYAL MT4, but it is slower than both my brokers prices, ...

Lightening FAST MT4 platform needed. Suggestions please.

Can anyone recommend a MT4 datafeed they've come across thats seems quicker than all the other MT4 platform datafeeds you have come across? Theres so many, I've tried quite a few, but probably only a small fraction of all the MT4 brokers that exist. ...

Oanda's quick pricing

Surely someone knows something that will help me? Ikon royal metatrader is the quickest i have found to date, but it still lags, & also lags my previous brokers prices. But at least the prices are more or less the same at any given time, whereas ...

Oanda's quick pricing

I'm basically sick of exiting a trade for a bigger loss/smaller profit than what i expected, & what i would have had if i had had matching broker tradeable prices & charts datafeed. Due to the fact that oandas prices lead my lagging charts (from ...

Oanda's quick pricing

Thanks. the 5th decimal place is a bit of a no no for me. It takes too long to interpret what it means.

Lightening FAST MT4 platform needed. Suggestions please.

The Ikon Royal MT4 platform has definately slowed down over the last few weeks, against my brokers prices. So either my brokers prices are less delayed or ikon royal mt4 has slowed down. Is anyone aware of an MT4 platform that delivers prices ...

Thanks Bud. this one is a speed improvement over ODL .

Lightening FAST MT4 platform needed. Suggestions please.

Thanks for the suggestions. i see ATC brokers have the 5th digit. i dont like this as for me it makes the chart & price a lot more slow a process to read & interpret. Like alpari who annoyingly have also added a 5th digit. The 5th digit is good in ...
