There must be a bottleneck with some certain major carrier as Oanda's been just fine all day here.

Oanda's leverage should be enough, with 400:1 you'll just blow your account faster unless you have a well tested risk strategy which absolutely needs as high leverage as that. Use FXGame to learn the platform and then move on to FXTrade practicing with small trades. Really small. As your...

You might have some misunderstanding about spread and the charts. Mid price charts like candlesticks do not show the spread, min/max charts show the spread (the extreme variations in price from bid to ask). The spreads on the current rates window are what you get. Nothing else in there...

And I admit to being the King of Nigeria and stop hunting your account into margin call. Show some real proof like a reliable datafeed quote screenshot, EBS, Reuters, Oanda, Esignal etc, and a comparable screenshot from the crooked broker exposing their stop hunt. Nobody likes crooked...

Post already. So far you've shown nothing but bunch of paranoid drivel.

That is true, the extra asian demand for gold is definately rubbish. The indians are so fickle they will definately not buy at peak prices, and the chinese are not exactly stupid either. It's just a metal and should be relegated into its commodity position together with copper and other...

Short dollar at peak after jun 29 fomc announcement.

On Oanda boards, where newbie traders don't understand that spread is added to market price and thus a stop just outside of market price can be hit with the added spread. Or where real market data gets called bad because it triggered someone's stops. And ECN's? You mean when stops are run on...

Are there any costs associated with etf holding? SLV for example.

Fxsol gives you 400:1 leverage. Oanda's leverage is 50:1 for opening trades but 100:1 for margin. Means after you've used up your trading leverage there's still more margin for holding if your position goes against you.

Definately Oanda.

More foods commodities please (without delivery), pork bellies are my favorite. Brazilian real and Russian ruble in forex.

IB's commission is 0.2 pips but then there's the market ask/bid spread which varies according to market, right now hovering around 2.5-3 pips, Booktrader open right now in next window for EUR.USD. In comparison Oanda's spread is just their normal 1.5 pips for the same pair, right now.

You can trade silver and gold at Oanda, no physical delivery.

It's not about the second pc but the trouble. It's not trouble to call for someone to come to your place and repair something the very next day. It's hell of a trouble to start mailing something and wait.

After posting such a scathing rating of their platform, could you please elaborate what is there wrong with it? Why is it in your opinion not suitable for serious traders? Let's have a real factual discussion of this aside from personal preferences and likings. I'll start with that the only...

Get Dell with next day on-site service. Costs next to nothing for a period of 3 or 4 years and guarantees that your trading station is always working. Last time I checked the extra cost for 3 year completecover warranty (covers even accidental damage, not just warranty issues) with next day...

Do you really think a 'commission' is not that if it's called a 'spread' instead.

Oanda definately does not trade against its clients, they hedge all net exposure on the market. ECN seems to be the new buzzword, however it doesn't offer anything that Oanda traders wouldn't have had since 2001.

They don't pay interest on your balance either.
