Scalping with Oanda , any problem ?

Quote from cabletrader:

lol, yeah I know!

It's been a bit better today, maybe they've adjusted it slightly....

I believe there will be a positive outcome though, only makes business sense right ?
 
That video above doesn't bother me at all.

What does bother me is getting disconnected or having my orders delayed.

The lagging quotes above are just a graphical glitch (at least on the surface). As long as I'm filled where the market is at (instant execution) is all I really care about.

I agree with you up to a point, but as customers aren't we entitled to both? In such a competitive business why do we have to accept anything but the very best in service and facilities?

As traders we need very little from the broker, competitive executable quotes, a reliable and functional platform, and efficient technical/account support when we need it.

None of that should be beyond even the most basic broker, after all it's what their business is all about.

Except for FXManager I would vote with my feet and be off to greener pastures, Oanda sucks in pretty much every area of the business!

Simple question : any one had a problem scalping Euro with Oanda ?
I opened an account b4 6 month with Oanda and untill now i didnt fund it , beside that they widen their spreads at news time , is there anyone experienced problems with Oanda while scalping Euro ( size 1 standard lot ) 50 times daily with tight stop ....

Your best bet is CME currency futures - 6E.

I don't disagree.

But this lag isn't something that is ongoing. At best it's an anomaly that seems to happen sometimes when there is sudden volatility.

I've tried a couple other brokers and the problems were far greater and occurred more often for me than dealing with the occasional lag or disconnect at Oanda.
 
Quote from Surprise:

i wanted to know if there is any update , i am thinking to use Oanda , want to know if these problems still exist ...

You can open an account with any dollar amount. Just open it up and give it a whirl.

And I'll add, the biggest problem scalping with Oanda, is most people don't know how to scalp.
