lol, so basically you're leaving Oanda because it's a Market Maker and, as a solution, you're going to another Market Maker who is worse. Smart move bro.

Its really not fun trading with oanda the MARKET MAKER. Shitty oanda brags about leverage 50, real time interest rate, blah blah shit, earn from spread.... but confirmed market maker.

I lose a lot of money, then i try to win it back by trading NFP... oanda practically freeze the platform, lock me out from my account by saying wrong password (my browser saves password) and the can login MT4 trader platform but cant trade (always say trade context busy).

sigh, all of you , better dont trade with oanda. i rather dump my money at lottery or casino...
I have several ECN accounts, even premium accounts which you can get only depositing larger than usual sums. I must say, there are very very few brokers, that come even close to Oanda.

EVEN with platform freezes etc and maybe a little higher spread lately, Oanda is still better. I myself in this thread wrote several times OMG PLATFORM JUST FROZE!!! Screw Oanda... But when you trade with different "ECN"s, you will understand, that Oanda did not have 5 pip slippagge, like most ecn do. On my other accounts, I get slipped in average more than a pip per order. Do you freaking know what that means? It means, I am playing with almost a 3 pip something spread incl commissions all the time.

Before you migrate, consider reading on google what people write about ecns like mb trading etc. Forexpeacearmy is a good review site, make sure you read the relevant reviews, some are just scam.

And for you as the enduser, there is absolutely no difference between ecn and market maker. In the end what matter how your trades get executed, with what delay and slippage.

By the way, Oanda is no dealing desk.
I found a penny today. That's +100 pips for me.

sorry but it does matter if its an ecn or not, if you are a winning trader they are more likley to play games

Really? I've been trading with them for ages and it's indeed the best broker I've been dealing with among all my brokers, but I never have been told about that.
So far so good, of course, but, could you please tell me where you got this info?
Thanks

OANDA seems to disconnect me often once I've been more profitable in the past few weeks. Anyone have the same problem today? Or is it just some server problem that they're trying to fix? If this goes on, I'm really taking my money out and put it somewhere else.

It was on their website. The link should be here in this thread many many pages ago. They are a market maker, but have no dealing desk.

Its simple to find:

http://www.oanda.com/corp/

Second sentence: "Oanda is a market maker...."

Of course they dont explain there what that actually implies.

I believe they are no dealing desk, because there is no "manual" dealing desk, but an "automatical" dealing desk...
this pig cannot be slaughtered for ever... or can it?

Hey, anyone having trouble logging-in OANDA again? I have been in the green since the past few weeks and I've noticed that OANDA is now playing games with my account. What's going on? My account disconnects for no reason and the graphs don't display properly. Looks like manipulation and dirty games to me.

Thanks for the response. I'm checking to see if others experience the same as well. Are you by any chance in a live account and in profit? My account has doubled in half and it is when it grew by 50% that things started acting up.
