Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

Discussion in 'Forex Brokers' started by forestgril, May 4, 2008.

  1. Ok, just to balance things out a bit, Oanda have clearly had numerous problems in the past ranging from platform connectivity issues to erroneous quotes, many of which I have posted about on this thread. In the majority Oanda were fair and reversed any orders filled on bad quotes (including stop loss orders), even though they were under no legal obligation to.

    Since around October last year the platform has been extremely stable, connectivity has been good with only very occasional momentary disconnections, and fills have been excellent even across volatile times like US NFP releases.

    I'm an active intraday scalper making on average 25-35 trades per day and have had hardly any problems with executing around 1,000 trades over the past 3 months as can be seen from some of the trading blotters posted.

    I believe it's important to take into consideration the source of complaints about brokers, it's often the case that an inexperienced trader who is consistently losing money finds it easier to blame the broker for his losses rather than take responsibility for his own poor judgment, trading inexperience, and inadequacies. Forex is an unforgiving market and doesn't suffer fools gladly!

  2. This is getting ridiculously repiticious, there's really no need for a sole trader to have more than one account with one broker, it serves no purpose.

    There's also no need for a trader to have excessive amounts of capital on deposit with a broker, all he needs is sufficient funds to cover margin requirements and drawdown.

  3. Unless he/she wants his account to rise with capital quickly, plays with full possible leverage and knows, that he/she can handle that with his/her method.

    If you opinion not about your personal intent ,than
    your statement is propaganda .

    Ca nwin more ,if concetrate all capital in one account and make risk

    But this occassion would rare .

    Occassion ,that broker would crash,would use all kind of activieis ,which ilegal and illegal ,than in case of the crash of broker clinet would lose funds

    would 10+ time's more

    Average account life expectancy by spot fx
    45-60 days.

    90 % of retail would loss ,5 % would go zero to zero

    In this reality would better

    1.Not to trade
    2 .Divide capital and brokers


    Best wish ...

  9. If I were from Poland, I would be more worried about my missing vowels.
    Maybe Oanda took your vowels.
