Sometimes I forget about the Java aspect. Any stops/orders etc. are held on the server side, is that correct?
I have experienced this frustration, but came to realize the chart is only updated every 5 seconds with Oanda. So you will get the price that is at the server when you click, which isn't always the same as what the chart is showing...especially in fast markets. If this is a big concern for you, then use the Upper/Lower limits. Also note that this will work in your favor as well as you will sometimes receive a better price when entering/exiting a position. In the end it all evens out. Lastly, if 1-2 pips is that big of a deal for your trading......well, yikes!
You're right, it isn't an ECN, it's just another bucketshop. Nothing wrong with bucketshops though, they have their uses.
5 min and 1min on metatrader with some favourite indicators, but I spent most time on 5 sec on Oanda to have maximum insight in what is happening what is positive 150k?
I think the key point is we the FX traders would need a web site (probably operated by any authorised agents of international Governments) that is able provide prices information by comparing the Interbank markets against any other FX platforms like Oanda. There should be no reason this web site is still not available yet. Just a thought!
It would be nice to have a universal reference point for when it comes to disputes but I can't see any marketmaker going for it voluntarily, there's nothing in it for them.
Get over yourself. I am a trader, and I do not work for Oanda. The sooner you dispense with the conspiracy theories, the sooner you'll be able to focus on your (poor) trading ability. If you don't like Oanda, don't use them. It's really that simple. I could honestly care less. But if you're going to bash a company - ANY company I have used - and I don't agree, I'm going to provide a balanced viewpoint to counter your accusations. If I agree, I'll back up your statement. I have a right to my opinion just as you have a right to yours. Is this clear now? I realize English isn't your first language, but I've tried to make this as transparent as possible.
