Oanda disconnects

Quote from giles117:

Grabbed it for 75 pips. As fortunate programming would have it, my system actually called it for me...

Nice. Will you post your blotter for us?

I think it was by chance. It just closed me out of a short the day before and called the reversal...

I was surprised. Here is my suggestion... Learn the market and program your own system.

This is just mere dialogue... I mention this trade because it took me by surprise...

No-one's whining apart from you, we're just happy we don't trade at Oanda and we're appreciating and celebrating the efficiency of our respective brokers compared to other brokers such as Oanda.

Ivanovich, you kinda shoot yourself in the foot. By your own admission clients trading with Oanda can expect to experience disconnections during news, latency, and laughably wide spreads. Now that may be normal for you but I can assure you it's far from normal and those are not things which any self-respecting trader with any common sense let alone experience would put up with for very long.

I think you'll find the Oanda cheerleading section is over here http://fxtrade.oanda.com/resources/forums.shtml, you'll be in the excellent company of likeminded (albeit misguided) individuals!

I've looked into CMC before and any quick search in Google will reveal user feedback that this MM is no different from all the others - requotes, hung orders, etc.

I guess we all have different experiences and I'm sure that is because we all trade differently.

I wish I could program my own system but I'm also useless at programming. Did you get someone to do it for you?

I've looked around for someone but it's a problem a) finding someone capable, and b) finding someone trustworthy who won't have the thing up on eBay for $99.99 next week!

Any suggestions?

Sure, I appreciate what you're saying but some things aren't down to individual experiences or trading styles, they seem universal.

I won't go on about it, I've posted screenshots so it's obviously up to the reader to decide, after all it's their cash they're spending.

I use amibroker and backtested my program. AB is not that difficult and the community is extensive.... You just have to work out data.
