[quote=OANDARep;8680118]{quote} Hi cuchuflito, The one thing that everyone tends to look for is absolute security while trading. Unfortunately risk is an inherent part of trading FX and any instrument or market. There is no guarantee that you will not lose your funds trading. That is as blunt and as frank as I can be.


Hi Greg
thanks for your bluntness and frankness...thatīs what I feared the answer would be...stops "can" only be honoured "most of the times..."

NEXT QUESTION: assuming my complete account would be wiped out by a "massive slippage", can OANDA even claim further funds from me...after not honouring my initial protective stop???...(like forcing me to sell my house)...mind you, I trade to an exact position/risk size...with a stop...and away from news....

Thanks in advance, and you too enjoy your weekend!

Anyone experience any issue with FXtrade on Windows 10? Recently I am not able to load the application at all, tried their FXtrade desktop application, loading it from browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome, doesn't work as well. Anyone able to share?
I recently installed Windows 10 and just downloaded FXtrade to my desktop using Chrome and it worked fine

Theoretically they can. If I remember correctly (as I wasn't affected by the issue) they forgave negative balance during the CHF event, but afterwards changed the user agreement so that they will be able to pursue negative balance in the future. As we both are living in Germany it's likely that jurisdiction would follow them. Just be careful and reasonable when entering a position. The money you can loose during such an event you can also win so don't be greedy and you should be fine. If you trade high liquidity pairs like the majors your stops usually get honored even during news releases like the nfp and the likeliness of a big movement isn't really there. CHF was special as the fixed price was artificially produced. Even while terrorist attacks currency rates, compared to stocks, stay roughly stable as countries are equally affected by these kind of circumstances. If you don't get chased for your negative balance the company suffers the loss and eventually other customers have to burden this loss as well. If you don't trade any weird illiquid product with an unreasonable overcapitalized position a broker chasing you for negative balance is actually in our own interest isn't it?

Yes done the above, at first, my fxtrade was all blank, but after enabling it, it load to the page, but the rest that numbers are required to load are empty. Tried contacting their support twice, yet to receive any suggestion. All they did were ask for my ping and trace route for investigation, which I already told them it had nothing to do with network.

Oanda MT4 were working fine, my other brokers which also use web browsers are also alright. Just FXtrade not loading properly.

Danke schön Kilian
I trade only 5 pairs, 5 minute charts, the big ones..always on the screen when invested, away from news and with a stop, plus an exact risk management/ position size.
Oanda is the only broker I know where you can trade units and not lots.
All the best...

Have you guys read the last
Customer Agreement and Execution Policy from Oanda, effective march 23?

Pretty clear, nothing is guaranteed, no stop loss, no platforrm freeze...no order execution slippage....

Imagine you go to Las Vegas, win a hand, but the table getīs frozen, till your winner becomes a looser....

What a game indeed!

I just came here to ask what's up with the spre@ds? Are they going to be like this for the rest of the day/night? I know it's Easter weekend, but is liquidity really that dry? I've never seen the spre@ds so wide on the pairs I trade, at least when there's no major economic news event looming.

Pure BS. They're quickly becoming a bucket shop in a worse way than just taking the opposite side of your trade.

I do not want to hijack the thread and obviously I'm not affiliated with any FX company. The spreads are higher in Fx Pro but markets are barely moving. However they're tradable. e.g. 3pips on EU with such low liquidity is ok, because price spikes occasionally.

New "advanced charting" is great start, still lots of improvements needed...

Wonder why, when I go to the oanda forums, from my german account, the forum shows lin russian language....

Lotīs of work for you ahead, oanda people...improving in the right direction though...just keep it up...we are patient...:nerd:

​The new advanced charting tool is nice, but until you cannot trade with it useless for me.

My question is directed ONLY to manual only traders, NOT news traders or EA traders.
Are you satisfied with Oanda's trading conditions, execution, manual stops etc
Were you able to make a withdrawal without hassles, incidents or delay excuses?

Just for update, since today, Oanda still did not give me any technical follow up as promised. No follow up, no solution, kinda dosappointed after so many years with them.

But at the same time, recent latest Java update resolved my issue. But during twice the technical support in their online chat, they keep pushing to network issue, and keep asking me to wait for their investigation despite me telling them I suspect is Java issue. And all the informations they took was trace route results and ping responses. The above 2 attempt troubleshooting doesnt take more than 3 mins, but waste 47mins of my time on one of the online chat support. I even provided them the Oanda platform debug logs to them.

Hope they can improve on this.
