lol, if you're an example of a typical Oanda client then Stumm and his investors can sleep soundly in the knowledge they still have clients who don't know which way is up, their investment is safe! Hey, as long as you're enjoying yourself that's all ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

I haven't been trading on FXTrade yesterday or today, what has your experience been like? What price feed do you use to compare quotes?

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

No one is arguing about 'fast execution', it's the quotes and prices orders get executed at in relation to the underlying market which is the problem, not to mention connection and platform stability issues (both intentional and unintentional). ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

If life were only that simple.... You can't platform arb, they won't fill at their off-market quotes, believe me I've tried! If it was exploitable then I wouldn't have mentioned it on a public forum, I ain't that generous! I wouldn't expect them ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

I think Oanda say it best themselves, "For traders it's just bad business; for the market maker & associates it's the proven path to riches. Worst of all, traders' acceptance of bad practices just perpetuates them." Like you say it's all part of the ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

It's hardly staring, charts are what technical analysts use so looking at them is kinda prerequisite, besides which it's not 'all day'. You miss trades, I make trades, 'nuff said

You know you are a trader when.....? (Serious answers please)

These shops have their uses.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

I have no idea. I'm primarily an active intraday trader but I rarely spend all day staring at charts. I'll analyse the charts of numerous currency pairs as well as other markets, across several time frames, I follow (potential) market moving events ...

You know you are a trader when.....? (Serious answers please)

Most probably. Also there's probably some deep psychological reasons why it's more comfortable to convince oneself that the reason for not being able to use specific tools profitably when others seem to be using them successfully is nothing to do ...

Why 61.8%?

Exactly, whereas Oanda's can be 20/30 wide a minute before and stay like that for anything up to 5 minutes after! There's absolutely no doubt they manipulate quotes, sometimes it's just plain ridiculous. I guess those who avoid trading some of the ...

LOLOL

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

I love you man Something else I just thought of, trading can be mind-blowingly boring most of the time particularly for a pure technical analyst, probably worse than working on a production line in some factory somewhere! Apart from the money it ...

That's a lovely fairy tale, I'll remember to tell my kids that one as a bedtime story! -

You know you are a trader when.....? (Serious answers please)

Does the transition need to be either/or, couldn't you maybe try out full time trading in vacation time from work (sick leave?). Also be very aware that trading as a primary or sole source of income is a whole different ball game psychologically ...

You know you are a trader when.....? (Serious answers please)

Don't feel too bad about it, I watched Ashraf Laidi and Craig Inglis trade NFP live on Friday and they lost 6.5% in less than a minute.....and they called themselves 'experts'!! -

I lost money during the huge move

No problem, but are you sure about Dukascopy, have they stopped offering PAMM? Edit: I'm losing the plot, sorry, you were asking about LAMM not PAMM! How about NordMarkets, and of course ADM, sheesh I trade with ADM and I never knew they ...

LAMM Brokers

It makes you wonder why anyone would want to trade with any other brôker!

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

lol, they billed it as "See the experts in action!"......they placed 2 trades, both were stopped out, and the analysis was all over the place! If that's how the 'experts' do it then we're better off being amateurs!
