I think the problem here is that you're the one doing the barking in this thread and it's annoying everyone.
Well of course you don't....because you can't! All you ever seem to do is post screenshots of 'spikes' and moan about them. When someone points out that Oanda reverse everything triggered by an erroneous spike (so they obviously don't gain and the client obviously doesn't lose) it destroys your conspiracy theory and that's the end of your argument until the next spike and the next moan, it's pathetic and tedious. Show the dialogue between you and Oanda where they refuse to reverse a loss you sustained from a bad tick on their platform, then you've got an argument. Until then you would probably be better off spending your time and energy learning how to trade so you can fund a live account instead of demo after all these years!
I thought I'd missed it but it's still 7, cool You monitor a lot of pairs, do you trade all those? GBP/CAD, what's that like?
I only monitor EUR/AUD, AUD/USD, couple other majors. As for the others, I never removed them after checking occasionally. Sometimes, there are interesting correlations I like the flashing arrows, makes me look busy and important. Actually, the arrows are the 1st aspect of the platform to indicate a slowdown or disconnect with Oanda.
Your overall rating of oanda november last year seems to agree with mine, you can see that even Ivanovich is not that enthusiastic as he used to be. http://www.elitetrader.com/br/?action=view&R_FirmID=195 If so, why you keep attacking and offending me? If your trading goes bad it is not my fault. And I do not wish you losses. But a trader must be cool and relaxed. These spikes happen to often since several years and are yet not fixed. This whole thread is to show it to the ones who are willing to open an account with Oanda. Don't tell me that you are that stupid not to understand, that after a badly triggered stop loss, unless they "reimburse" the loss, you are disposed of your capital. Also your trade is off at that time and you cant change your trade's take profit or stop loss, as the market situation changes. If someone is a scalper for minutes like you, no such big problem. But it starts to be a problem if you leave positions overnight and during that night you loose the position. In the morning, when it would be good to replace the SL and TP you have to write to OANDA for them to DEIGN reversing your trade. Stop barking at me and try to argue with that, Cable. But it seems undisputable for me, sorry.
