Oanda just another bucket shop

Quote from MickMason:


Margin requirements I don't think matter a great deal, 50:1 or 25:1, it's a bit academic really. Is that the margin problem you were talking about or is there another problem with margin or margin calls?

Just the 25:1 on crosses due to the cross being represented as two vs-USD positions.

Right, thanks, not really an issue unless someone doesn't find 25:1 adequate!

I guess I'll find out next week how they perform

:eek:

You're not alone, I've only just managed to find the manual for FX Trader among the myriad of links!

How surprising. Someone with your intellect? I though you left the scam known as Oanda? Now you're reading the manual?

lol, and this from a guy who had trouble finding Forex Capital Markets on the CFTC website, dilettante :)

FXCM is affiliated. the web address offers a clue. www.fxcm.com

I don't think reading the FXTrade manual will solve your problem.

lol, this just gets better and better! We were talking about the IB website not Oanda.

Too funny :)

lol, got me there.

I'll add that it must've taken you some time to click on IB's "software" link which is prominently located on the home page.

Here's a shortcut for you: software >trader workstation > user's guide

Just a thought.

lol, good one huh :)

Ok, serious note, how are you finding IB compared to Oanda regards connection issues, fills etc as you've traded on both.

Thanks
