Ok, I have misspoke by accident a tad. This situation happened about a year ago the minor details slipped away. It was .7 of a pip and not 7 pips. Why didn't I record it? It wasn't my computer but I saw it with my own eyes. My friends comment on it was a few F bombs, and saying that's what bucket shops do. I actually liked Oanda. Was simple and fast and I never had a problem with being connected. I just never could know whether I was getting a fair shake. Judging on the wonderful reputation forex I am surprised at the response from most people here. Again I apologize for misstating the pips but .7 on a 10 mil trade is some nice pocket money.
if you watch the quotes for quite sometime and compare it to currenex,you will somewhat know that MBTrading is a ECN market maker anyway why bother paying so much?
jrlvnv, why didn't you go to fxcompare http://fxlabs.oanda.com/cgi/fxlabs.pl?n=fxcompare and why didn't your friend took the difference of the comparison (if there was any) and go to Oanda? As I've already said, amateurish nonsense.
The biggest proof that his assumptions are untrue is the existence of FXcompare. I always get the same quotes there when comparing my executed trades. You can do it via VPN if you wanna do it anonymously
i understand why some people might not choose to believe me. why are you protecting oanda? What is your affiliation with them? I see you just registered with elitetrader. why do you feel the need to register and defend oanda the same day you register? look oanda is a bucket shop. i believe they have have a algorithm to change a customers quote based on their overall exposure to a certain market. if they didn't hedge themselves against a large order and forcing them to be overexposed in a market, i believe is was in their best interest to start playing with quotes in the account in which the order was made (hence 2 quotes from 2 accounts from 2 different open platforms.) i know what I saw. Choose not to believe me, fine, continue to live in fantasy land or defend your company, whatever your motive is. do you think i have a bone to pick with oanda? Search my posts. at no time did I ever say anything bad about them. I never said they stole my funds and won't give it back. So go ahead mr one poster, keep saying I am lying. I have a whole lot to gain by making up my story. /sighs
have you ask you friend to compare his trades [based on transaction history] with http://fxlabs.oanda.com/cgi/fxlabs.pl?n=fxcompare ? or perhaps their tick data if you were right,you may be able to file a dispute,im not sure about suing them as mention by fuji (i believe) in oanda's forum
