    excellent ,with odl , you can trade big volume like currenex too .
    the fill is almost same as currenex too . except 1 pip extra .

    1 pip extra means the spread is 1 pip higher with odl? I trade with Oanda, never had a pip slippage, the same with odl? I´m looking for a second forexbroker, just to split the risk.

    i have oanda account too . i think oanda is good for limit order , odl is good for market order , for slippage , odl is same with oanda . spread is 2-3 for the major ,cross is as low as oanda around 3-5 . not like some broker that charge 5-9 pips , and the quote is same as currenex , fast .

  7. 168, that's an interesting order. You are prefering ODL over Currenex ? Would you care to explain why ?

    Thank you!

    i have currenex platform too , with adm . it looks like i prefer odl more is because odl's platform is more suited to my trading style , does not mean odl is better than currenex ,it is just me .

    you have to fund currenex with at least $ 100.000, is that true?
