Oanda losses connection around NFP...again!

It will be hard to find anything better than Oanda, espescially when you take into account they have a hard stop where you know where you will be executed. Good luck on that with futures.

EDIT: emergency maintenance. Can still log in through mobile though it looks like

Just seen that link, thanks a lot !

EDIT: but it seems you can't open a new position, is that right ?

cvds16 · Mar 30, 2011

haven't tried it but I think you can, most likely only at market.

Joman · Mar 30, 2011

Yes, there is an "execute trade" screen, looks very user friendly :eek:

MB Trading and IB whip the shit out of Oanda, PERIOD

Ive only been disconnected once( this past fall) with MBT and it was down for only 30-40 sec.

Those of you who keep whining about Oanda have no one to blame but yourselves. ( Like a battered woman who stays with her abusive boyfriend/husband)
