That's good to know nonetheless for other USA users of Oanda. Can you still deposit with Paypal, or has that been eliminated too?

Its always been an issue through several different version of Java.

When you select Credit/Debit, do you still see your credit card number listed that you used to make your deposit? I can see a list of the four credit cards I've used for deposits.

Yes, I've noticed that issue too with the desktop app. At some point it times out and disconnects. The only way to reconnect is to close the app or shut down computer altogether. I'm also up to date on the Java. This problem occurs both on my PC and my Mac.

Oh I will let ET know about this. I am very irritated with Oanda about this issue. I have enough money now to switch to a more advanced broker. Perhaps, its time. Only three weeks ago, Oanda's credit card approval system wasn't working. I tried to load about 5 times with my credit card. It...

That is correct. :)

Security? I'd be surprised. Instead of house unit being 14B, it was entered Unit 14, Apartment B. Everything else in the address was identical. I can't even modify the address online. I have to call it in. Pain in the neck. There is no Apartment. This is just a mistake in the way it was...

No its a Canadian bank. I've always used my CIBC Visa card which has worked fine. This time I used my CIBC Visa/Debit card which is directly linked to my bank account. So far Canada continues to allow credit card deposits. I've never had any issue with my credit card. It wasn't until I...

Be warned. Do NOT use your VISA/DEBIT card to load your account with OANDA! If there is even one letter wrong, or some slight difference in the presentation of your address, your transaction will be declined! HOWEVER, the money will still be withdrawn from your bank account. You will wait...

I've had a very odd event occur while attempting a deposit into my Oanda trading account. Wondering if anybody else has experienced this. I have been gradually adding cash into my Oanda account. Last week on August the 20th, I attempted a $2000 deposit. Up to this point I had been using my...

I am more than happy and more than capable of fiddling with and resolving any issue on any phone or computer, but .... When I am extremely busy with work and overwhelmed with the responsibilities of being a husband and also a father to two children under 3, I don't have time to fiddle. Give me...

After the CHF disaster, you're stock is looking rather attractive to me. Out of curiosity, are you still paying the stated dividend or has this also been modified due to debt payment issues? https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=fxcm&ql=1

She also has a very strong martial arts background. Smacking her over the head isn't going to get me very far. :) :) It's ok. I'm good with money. Ha ha!

You're right, but given that my wife and I both play violin, I can tell you that time spent isn't enough. Her talent allows her to accomplish in an hour what takes me 5 hours. Or is it talent? Was it a training that she acquired at a young age that taught her how to benefit more for a unit of...

Just an update: The increased money in the account did modify my psychology. In fact, it completely changed my strategy. I suddenly changed the strategy to a long term position on the USDCAD pair. Two and half months wasted! I came to my senses today and closed out the position with a $200...

By the way, Im not calling you a failure. I'm making the point that if you present yourself to anybody with this attitude it reeks of failure.

"....if I don't get a trading job in the next month I'm going to try professional poker ..." I'm sorry, but you've answered your own question. This has failure written all over it.

Marketsurfer, there are a few of us that will consider this a useful tool. You may recall, I'm the guy who does a little trading in between doing deliveries ( my real job). My biggest issue is a safety issue and the poor coordination and sound quality I am getting with my car's Bluetooth...

If it were a zero sum game, the long run trend of a major index would be flat. Is the long term trend of any major index flat?

Probably not a bad deal actually if you hold the bond to maturity, or interest rates continue to fall. Either the European situation continues to deteriorate in which case Germany may exit the Euro. Suddenly your German bond will be worth a lot more. Alternatively, the Euro situation...
