LOL! Oanda having some JPY pair problems?

Yes, how can this procedure be possibly NFA-compliant. Wondering what happens when one of those clients, that had a target hit with 1000 pips positive slippage, complains to the NFA that they adjusted a trade without notice and too late.
 
I notice news about Japan. Perhaps these events are related to changes in bid ask spreads:

Quote from cabletrader:

If you can get written confirmation from Oanda that a trade will be reversed or restored then offset it if there's any money left in the account!

Unfortunately it looks like quite a few people have had margin calls and other positions closed.....wow, what a nightmare!

For giggles, I gave my "friend" a call. He told me that the sheer number or trading errors is a nightmare and they hope to have it done this working day. They WILL be restored, however (all yen pairs that had the problem, which were three of them I think he said).

I assure you, he knows what Oanda will do :)
 
Quote from ddaytrader:

It would also be nice if Oanda would remove the bad ticks from their charts.

I'm sure they're more concerned right now with account integrity. But I'm sure they'll get around to the charting.
 
as you may have seen I had post a Brokers comment about them very positive about a month ago. I am looking forward with their reaction.

The picture in the forum is quit legendary ! If it happen for real...

what I really don't understand is how an industry who can grow bigger than everything ( the retail side of trading ) that is sabotaging itself.

Why video games are better coded ? run smoother, use less ressources for what they do...

because only greedy programmer would work for bank/financial institution. The true hardcore crowed will stay away for such materialistic claim as money... they are Artists, yes sir with a Capital !
 
Due to the amount of orders that were triggered by the erroneous spike, the account restoring process is still ongoing. If your account was affected, please contact Customer Service on the FXTrade homepage. This is the top priority for the Technical team. We are sorry for the disruption to your trading and are working on solving this issue.

Thank you.
