Hi guys, going back to FX game, I remember OANDA had some of the tightest spreads and now compared in this chart, it is 2 pips for EUR /USD while others are like 04, etc. Did something happen or those charts are wrong? https://www.myfxbook.com/en/forex-broker-spreads Are they going downhill or? Used to love them many moons ago
Many brokers converted to a spread + commission model to make it "seem" like they have low spreads. Add the commission for entry + the commission for exit + the spread to get the real comparison. Also, remember the spread value on the web page is a probably fixed number, a text value. If the spread changes with price, and the web page is not automatically updated, then there might be a difference between the web page and the platform.

{quote} Nice single endorsement based on personal usage . To be honest, when looking for a broker I tend to look for legit long time user reviews over anything else. Star ratings and other corporate endorsements ring pretty hollowly imo. Reading your reply gave me an overall good feeling that I made the right choice with Oanda. So far, I haven't had any issues. I've always gotten my withdrawals as requested and the spreads have never really been anything to complain about. On another note, you mentioned the only other broker's statewide...
Hey Sorry for the late reply.

FXchoice is based in Belize. So I myself would not use them. In the USA there are only 3 FX brokers. Anyone else is either offshore or a IB for one of the other 3.

Not sure where they get the data they use but this is a live shot of my spreads.

sorry for my english..
hello..i'm new here.. after reading and studying for 2 months in this forum, now i'm very interested in Forex..
i'd like to go live account.. not much just $5k as a start..my friend told me that fxdd just ok..
could anyone give me some input, if fxdd is good enough? (i mean no stoploss hunt, fake price, difficulty in withdrawal, and chances the broker run away or go bankrupt?)

thank you for all reply.. this forum is giving me a lot of information and full of kind people..

Does the Oanda trading platform have an option on the order ticket to select position size based on the percentage of my account balance I want to risk on a trade? I've been trading Oanda via Tradingview because that option is very useful. But I want to start using Oanda's platform to place orders because I can customize Oanda's charts in ways that I can't do with the free version of tradingview.

Not sure if this is what you need, as you will find risk varies according to the instruments you trade:

this is from the broker page .....
Payments to partners
"Depending on the type of partnership, we will pay an affiliate a one-off payment or a regulated IB who provides an ongoing service, a continuous monthly payment."

what kind of payment is this, and what is the amount?

Hello Oanda Team

Im not able to make new trades anymore on my MT4 and I have been getting this message:

"Trade could not complete due to no new position NOT allowed on account [migrated account]"


Do I need a new account?, how do i get a new account that works?

This facility seems to no longer work properly. Instead of getting the right amount as a percentage of leveraged nav I get an empty box next to "Units" ... if I increase the percentage of leveraged nav to 3000 I get 30 units, respectively 300 units for 30000 , completely unrelated to my nav leveraged or not... anyone else experiencing this issue? I haven't contacted Oanda yet ...

Good to hear from you fellow trader.

Yes, they're at it again.

This is consistent with them and it is redundantly suspicious. I'm not the type of person though, but it's become all too uncanny over the years.

Just dropped again

5 seconds is too long in fx trading. Their chat servers are still down. Horrible

Never have open positions without a stop order during periods of easy money with this broker.

Been on hold for over a half our to get an explanation no answer still

Lost 13 pips on a position while this all happened

Just got off the tele and the little young lady says it was due to an upstream service provider, whatever that means....

And oh look, it's all down again

Nice

Upstream service provider. That's someone further up the river who is providing the content/data to Oanda.

One fortunate fact is: today various options are available in front of the forex traders so that diverse traders can choose their medium as per their trading requirements. Many brokers are offering versatile trading accounts by keeping the needs of diverse clusters. And what can make you successful is the better choice of broker along with the adoption of appropriate trading strategies.
