Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

Can't say if those suggestions are working for me or not. My connection meter is still bouncing quite a bit...not in the yellow though. I'll keep things running that way though since I don't use the charting from Oanda. Thanks for the tip.

I think Oanda is upgrading the Trade beta to the current version this weekend. Perhaps that will help?
 
Nothing major. I think the current Game account version is what Trade will be updated to.

The only real difference is the order window is slightly different.
 
Effective from the 22nd August on FXTrade
  • One-click trading feature added to Quote Panel. This feature can be turned on by clicking on the first button to the right of the Quote Panel tab.
  • The buy/sell window can be compacted to hide some fields and trade information. Bounds and limits can also be specified in pips so they do not need to be adjusted when the quote price changes.
  • New look and feel for the Quote Panel.
  • Trendlines have be been regrouped into a single button.
  • Colour schemes can be customized in Tools->Colour Scheme->Edit Custom Theme
  • Mousewheel is supported in the Quote Panel and Tables.
  • Chart Printing available from graph menu.

You will need to Clear Your Java Cache before these changes take effect (unless you're running FXDesktop which should update on next restart).

I like the new update especially the one click trading. However I can't stand the yellow pop box that appears when you mouse over the either the buy or sell. If they would add an option to turn that on or off, that would be very nice.

New platform also seemed a bit more "zippy" compared to the old but it is only day 1 on the new one...
 
I use Oanda...and have noticed a 'feeling' that they do play tricky games , always at exactly the big moment when price is about to blast off .but also at moments when my platform is 'overloaded' with detail, trendlines on several time frame charts up on the one screen,it seems that the oanda platform can only sustain a certain amount of data...and I reach an overload point ,after one too many trendlines drawn, where the platform screen starts doing optical glitches,which interfere with my trade ticketexecution...just at the moment when I want to enter a trade...I cant execute it because the platform is glitching on me...and/or it disconnects,or freezes with a "communication error' ("we apologise for the inconvenience,etc...")...which ruins my trade entry.
Always at the critical moment when price makes a big move.
When it happens once or twice in a half year thats incidental. When it happens every other day,always at the critical moments.....thats suspicious .
In the beginning of my trading experience,I was too new to recognize the games. Now I do think Oanda ,their computer program system, is rigged to do these things as part of their ..."trading against the trader" system.

If you were Oanda's engineers...wouldnt you design a platform system that can See everything that the trader is doing...and program your broker system to automatically throw a glitch into the traders program at key moments,or disconnect at key moments? or spike a trade at key moments? or do anything else you want to do to take the money away.
The more I study and trade forex, the more I see the game is rigged. not just rigged by the broker...but also rigged by the power elite bank controllers. I saw it last night at 1 am (california time) when price was at a critical s/r break throuigh point.... the Controllers Intervened to keep price (euro/usd) below the s/r point 4742 at the 1 am hour. natural movement was taking it up and break above...but suddenly a violent push ,came from out of nowhere to drop it down...a complete abberation away from the entire previous 8 hours of price action.

When you are watching Every single minute of 1 minute candles... for 10 hours.... you get to know what you are looking at . you develop a feel for the energy flow. and it becomes easy to see those moments when "some kind of Intervention/manipulation has taken place".... it shows as a complete abberation....completely without cause,or any indication,out of the blue,completely unpredictable,unexpected,and irregular. no rational TA reason for the movement . I would call that manipulation/intervention.

which tells me the whole forex trading game is a rigged game. rigged by the elite banker controllers...and... rigged by the bucketshop brokers, like Oanda.
How can we win.

You are not quite right. There are no such things as "natural moves" or every move is "natural". Every move is an effect of a sum of decisions. The fact is sometimes a single person with enormous capital and in specific moments can cause an unstable state to crush. Forex is the most difficult market to play. Why?
Because the biggest capital is in the hands of a relatively small and very well trained group of people. The foreign exchange market is the most chaotic and unpredictible in the shorter timeframe, because individual investors, who add up to the trends on shares and indexes have literally no meaning. So the game here is between the biggest fishes, sharks and whales (i know, they're not fish! :D ). if You wan't to win. You have to work hard, very hard to learn how to profit regurarly in longer time frame or how to scalp in the shorter. Indexes like SP500, DJ, DAX, NASDAQ are muchj more predictible, as the trends last a little bit longer.

In my opinion there was nothing unpredictible in the move mentioned by You. The EUR/USD pair was nearly overbought in 1hour timeframe, the 4h timframe stopped on the 50% reaction level 8 hours earlier. Daily trends were still the rulers. In such conditions a little push to the downside was probable, as it was meant to cause further fall allowing the sharks to: either get out of the shorts and wait, either wait for the level 1,4387 to realize their profits and switch from USD to another currency. The point 4760 was a very safe point to go short, as it was exacty at the flat tops from 3 hours earlier. And many comparably smaller fishes added to the positions there, as well as some sharks, probably. This caused the subsequent fall down.


ABOUT OANDA: I have to agree - I also think that the whole platform is programmed against the retail trader. Sum up the pros and cons and if it does not fit Your style, choose another broker without delay.
