Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory, but I think it's just a good, old-fashioned screw-up. I and others have observed that Oanda's client and server implementations have become less reliable in the last couple of years.

Quote from cabletrader:
Deliberate? lol, hardly, lost trades equal lost revenue for them.
Bucket shop? Sure, and your point is.......
Quote from gigsup:
My point is what was stated. Oanda is okay for those starting out, but they need to do something with their software because of too many "lost connection" and slow fills. It happened too much for my liking. Others may have better service. Deliberate? just my opinion.
Quote from cabletrader:
In this instance slow fills and some slippage on platform quotes (both positive and negative) were a direct result of connection issues, which it appears Oanda have resolved during their scheduled weekend maintenance.
You don't explain your reasons for thinking that connection issues are deliberate and like I say it obviously wouldn't be in Oanda's best interests to lose revenue through lost trades.
Oanda, like any other broker or marketmaker, aren't perfect. Legitimate complaints are one thing, unfounded conspiracy theories are what they are.
