I opened a ticket ahead of the jpy rate annoncement. From the time I open the ticket to the time I shorted the usd/jpy the market moved around alot. Then I place my market order to short and am filled at 115.414 with a "default" stop loss of 30 pips. BUT, my stop loss was actually placed 57...

For the most part, OANDA has been good to me. There are many good qualities about this broker. This issue, however, is a problem for how I trade, and thus I must move this account elsewhere. I had never noticed ththis before, as II manually move my stops after. But I was very surprised when...

I was trying to bring this to the attention of other OANDA users. As I have traded with them for qutie some time, and this was news to me, I am sure there are other users that were not aware of the dynamics of the dafault stop loss feature.

I guess that all depends on the capital one is trading and then what brokers suit a persons needs. My main trading is being set up on the currenex platform as soon as the paper work is processed. My point is this...why set a deafault stop based on a theoretical price at a theoretical...

Be careful usinng a default stop loss with OANDA...it is not what you thhink. The s/l is not based on your filled price, it is based on the market price when you OPEN the ticket. So if you open a ticket ahead of a news release for quicker entry and the price moves fromthen until you submit...

If you are basing a broker decision on 50:1 NOT being enough leverage, then you are a blow up waiting to happen.

I think that CAD is probably the worst of all the currencies to short vs the USD....at this time. Wait for the high CAD to affect eco #s then catch the wave....when they start to puke out long CAD postions it will be obvious and strong. Why not long the USD (which i think has been way oversold...

www.money.net It is all you really need from DJNewswire....and only 29.99 a month. Of course it is not as good as a direct Reuters feed, MNI, or DJnewswire full serive. If cost is the issue, they would be my first choice for non-free newsfeed. If not I prefer both Reuters and MNI to...

If eco reports in Canada continue to show inflation is in check and thus no signalling of near term rate hikes (like yesterday CPI), i see a test of Nov highs in the 1.1985 range. If the upcomming electios results in another minority gov't, that area could be hit much sooner than later. Just...

strange... Nothing wrong with my connection speed (cable with dsl backup) and nothing else was exhibitting any problems....charts, newsfeed, etc. were all working fine.

back online....more than 15 minutes later. Rediculous.

TICs data comes out. Oanda disconnects...still can't log in. HUGE opportunity costs on this one. Glad I am moving elsewhere. Have been fairly happy, but the disconnects during key reports really is inexcusable ad all to frequent.

Hmmmm....I have traded the currenex platform before. 95% of the time eur/usd is 1 pip (at times no spread, and max 3 pips (I do not trade intial moves of major announcements, but rather the secondary moves of those)....your site says 3 pips, how is this tighter? Same goes for the rest of the...

http://www.currenex.com/about_us_partners.html There is a link there under the White Lable Partners section. I am contacting all of them to get an idea as to their requirements etc. So fat Capital Forex has provided me the best quote for servic/usage. I was just wondering if anyone does...

I am just wondering if anyone is trading with Capital Forex ( A division of London Capital Group) using Currenex. If you are, please let me know what your experience has been like.

I traded the currenex platform through REFCO while beta testing a system for a private f/x capital pool. At one point I placed a large order and was filled 45 pips from the quoted price on my screen. This was of course during a news related event. I was told by their rep that one of the 10...

don't use a signal service.

Thanks.

That is good and all, but not really what I am looking for. I would prefer not to add another laptop, nor buy another PC with a quad head. I currently have a laptop and an additional monitor. I would like to add two more monitors and was wondering if anyone ahd used the above tool in their...

Has anyone used this product to add monitors to their laptop? It is much more reasonably priced than a digital tiger sidecar. If you are using one, please let me kow if the product has served your purpose. http://www.villagetronic.com/vtbook/dualhead.html
