Hey, this is interesting! Maybe I will try only to play the "sure" ones?! That may be really profitable! (The only, but extreme, problem is the patience :/) Thank You for good wishes!
check metatrader or http://www.fxstreet.com/rates-charts/live-charts/ screen from the page is attached to this post. they clearly do not show these spikes... Yes... Oanda is very honest!
HEY! Guys! Oh come on... I wait for someone to say, that this is all right In case, You don't recognize this situation - it is today (I am probably +2h GMT for most of You).
You are completely clueless. This thread is no longer worthy of response. Maybe Cable will have more patience to deal with someone as lost as you.
Hey Hey! Maybe it does not need no commentary, because it is obvious? What the hell these spikes do on Oanda platform? Huh? If You do not see a clue here, then maybe You should go to an optician. I will tell You the clue - forex brokers are making money on naive and undisciplined traders like me and 99% of the ones who decide to send money to their account. If they do it, profiting on the spread - it is ok, the stupid ones are responsible for making to many transactions. But, as most of the newbies take the wrong side of the market, they can take the opposite, and it is still alright.... until they do things similiar to shown on the last 3 screens (this page). Or maybe You will tell me Ivanovich that this is allright?
Not me, I usually give up after the 10th attempt and that was a while back! Fortunately these types make up 90% of the retail market....
The name of the thread clearly shows, that we should not talk here about the way I or anyone trades. You think, that I will always lose, and wish me good luck, OK, case closed. But what do You think about the screens posted today? Do You think, that what is shown is OK???
This is getting old. If Oanda is costing you money, get a new account and stop being a little bitch about it. That is if you actually are trading with a real cash account instead a demo.
Well in this instance you actually have a valid point, the spike low to 1.5385 at 03.34 EST does not appear on any other platform charts or third party charting package I have seen where the low Bid is 1.5401. Oanda say it was a valid price that could have been traded on and not bad data so they stand by that price. Perhaps you have (unknowingly) exposed a valuable platform arbitrage opportunity which if it's a regular thing will cost Oanda a lot of money. It's not the first time Oanda have left themselves exposed, see this thread, and that's more worrying than a bit of stop hunting.
