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:

I get really confused with their web page.


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?
 
Quote from MickMason:

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.

atticus, when you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop digging.......

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
