Maybe but at least their spreads are tight.
These days they are nothing particularly tight.

e.g. Where I trade EURUSD spreads are normally between 0 and 0.4 pips (and commission is 0.2 pips). Now that's tight.

Oanda? More like average.

At anytime brokers are obviously not hedging their trading book , knowing 99% of their clients will eventually bust.
Nonsense. At any time, brökers like Oanda hedge their net exposure (if you know what that means) to client trades.

"Knowing [insert random percentage] of clients will eventually bust" is not something they base their trading model on in any way.

Dude...study ur facts before posting such comments......brokers hedge all their customer trades....don't know anything don't anyhow post
Not all brökers hedge their customer trades, and those that do don't hedge all of their customer trades, just part of them.

Looks like it's both of you who should get their facts straight before posting.

Oanda has a depressing platform(fxTrade). My brain hurts when I use it, probably because of it's simplicity. I am leaving them. I tend to get bored/depressed with simple stuff. After using the TOS I don't think I can use fxtrade again.

Does anyone know of a trade management EA (partial profits and move stops) for Oanda's MT4?

interesting comment! I've wondered what many on this forum are looking for ("pips!", bragging rights?, opportunity to pick a fight?, fantasyland?, vouches?, other forms of external validation? ...)

how often is the idea here to make money? - I get the feeling that a lot of these people would be uncomfortable with money.

what d'you think drives the majority?

Hi Kfx - We apologize for the inconvenience. The charting issue has now been resolved and we are investigating the cause of it further. Please note that this was only a charting issue, so rates were still coming in, triggering orders, etc.

Thanks,

I've been trading 3 EAs on 3 different MT4 instances with them and everything is ok so far as long as their is a max spread feature on the EA to circumnavigate their spread widening tactics, it is just pending orders I think that Oanda's MT4 has a problem with.

I was thinking of trying a higher speed scalper with their MT4, I get 30ms ping from their server, but am wondering what the speed is from them to their liquidity provider.
