I suspect forestgirl and Ssssssss are the same person,or closely seated.

No shit!!
The first time you get a bucket-shop type fill, you head for the exits... don't you?
Amazing that Oanda can give you a bucket shop fill and then ask you to jump through hoops to get the trade unwound when you point out that they filled you in a non-existent market.
Even more amazing that people willingly start jumping.
Quote from slapshot:
Don't these people understand that they are trading against a for-profit dealing desk? Of course they are going to get hosed trying to scalp or put in 10 pip stops against them.
The only thing an account like Oanda is good for is longer term swings or holds. Trying to daytrade there is just plain stupid.

Didn't we have these same arguments a year ago?![]()
Yep, it's bizarre, all right. You know for sure that when someone claims they're cleaning up trading against a bucket shop (i.e. trading at a bucket shop where the desk is the market), they're most likely working at McDonald's and counting pips in their sleep, or else they're employees of the shop in question.Quote from slapshot:
