Oanda

[ElectricSavant]

Its all functional surf...you will get accustomed to it...Constantly, they are upgrading in beta features as we speak....it takes them a while to let something into FXTrade however....they never test anything on the real platform...it must go through Beta...then Game....then finally it will get released in Trade...

after reading this thread, i decided to check out OANDA.

they definitely win the award for the UGLIEST charts and most HIDEOUS and antiquated platform I have seen since my last TRS 80 computer.

why don't these guys upgrade their software??


what a mess,

I think the lack of feel good fuzzy bunny colors does not in any way shape or form outweigh their numerous benefits.

Well, my friend, I don't consider myself a pro yet, and I can only speak for myself.

I doubt that ES would consider himself a pro, however, if you believe his results, I'd say he's probably one of the many consistent traders on here that uses Oanda.

it's just painful to look at, but you are right, that has nothing to do with executions,etc. very mickey mouse looking.

I know of one "pro' who holds >$1mm on deposit with OandA in a seg-account. OandA is the only dealer I've seen in which exotics can be traded with such fine resolution; 5minutes to 6months on tenors.
