Hey Nick,
I've done just about everything you can do with the platform - have it collapse, freeze and slip in every way possible.
But to say that OANDA targets users to cheat them - it's not gunna happen.
First, no trader is even good enough for them to want to take some of his/her money. In forex? Are you kidding?
It's the riskiest market in the world! Everybody gets creamed on their own power with no help needed from OANDA trying to steal from them.
I've heard stuff about other brokers but never about OANDA.
I've been in situations where they could have wiped me if they wanted, but I never got a cent lost by having the trade or my account manipulated by them.
It would seem they are TOO honest, but, it is just the way it is with them.
The rest of it has to do with Java, the Internet and Windows in my opinion.
OANDA's reputation is the best there is.
peace out,
the skalper
