I doubt that they bet on anyone winning. That would be very brave. My guess is that they profile customers so that the bigger the account and the more profitable the history the greater the proportion of your trade that they pass straight through, ...

You miss my point. Camp three: there is no trend to befriend, looking for other pairs. Yes, there's a lot of "theory" about how to trade ranging markets, but I prefer a trend.

Well, I don't have any interest in trying to convince you. I made money on the elevator ride to 100 (it should have been more, but then it always should have been more) and I am out of this pair for now. My own analysis of the way the yen's real ...

I haven't experienced this. Why do they need to know how your overall net worth is changing? Do they perhaps have different reporting obligations for their US business? (I am in Europe and use their European platform.) Well, I am happy to share my ...

I'm rather hoping that trading with Oanda will update my net worth for me! (And I do mean "UP" date.) PK

Thomas Jordan: "Adjustment of the minimum exchange rate belongs, just like negative interest rates, as a basic principle to possibilities, when it is necessary." And the sky is blue and the ocean deep. EUR/CHF just touched 1,257 beating the peak of ...

Is the Yen already under-valued? A couple of Japanese officials have recently commented that the Yen may already have fallen far enough, and yet it's only just above the 100 mark against the dollar. Can't be right, eh? A look at the fundamentals ...

If you make the distinction between price structure and price level, then I think Oanda wins on structure and loses on level. By which I mean that the way in which Oanda explains and calculates interest/roll/swap is intuitive, clear and (I think) ...
