OandaRep, I'm not arguing that you didn't/don't have LPs, maybe you have. Or maybe you are a 100% market maker taking all the risks. That's absolutely not the issue. It's your choice, and Oanda is free to operate the way they want, not to defraud ...

Brokers chasing you for negative account balance

Hi AthrunZala, I'm going to try to give an answer in place of OandaRep: The theoretical swap rate is mainly based on two parameters: The sum of the dividends paid by the companies included in the index (positive value) LESS the cost of financing ...

Maybe you believe what you say, but this is NOT true at all. Trading continued at Currenex all the time. EBS, which is seen as the reference in Fx pricing came several times forward to say there were bids and asks on CHF pairs on their platform ALL ...

Please don't bring this propaganda here. Oanda HALTED all quotes and trading on all CHF pairs for more than 1 hour. "During the Swiss currency crisis, we did not re-quote or amend any CHF client trades": Of course you didn't, no trade could be ...

MIFID is a directive to respect, there is nothing to get. MIDIF doesn't even apply to forex, despite all broker telling otherwise (by advertising they comply with it) I just had a look at tickmill, they removed all European countries, but also ...

What's with Armada?

Starting a boker, maybe. But for a US broker, forget new ideas, you first have to have $20 millions to be able to able to be registered by the NFA.

MB Trading is dead

MyFxBook can import data directly from Oanda, and it's prettty nice.

Naddmer, leave them and find a descent broker. Maybe LMAX or Interactive brokers if you don't need MT4.

OANDA Discussion

Naddmer, excellent observations on Oanda's practices. I agree with you that Metatrader isn't in cause here, it's Oanda which as a market maker tries to get as much as they can from customers. When they widen the spread like that, they hit stop and ...

Vispilio: I understand what you're saying. It's true that in the forex market, any broker can quote whatever they want, and nobody can say anything about it, as there isn't any exchange and any official price. About this event, nothing says that it ...

Interactive Brokers - experiences and opinions

I don't have the value for EUR/CHF, as I was long on USD/CHF. USD/CHF pair was reactivated and stoplosses executed at 0.8775

OANDA Discussion

I don't understand what you don't understand. Of course you don't have anything bad to say about it as you're among the lucky ones. If you had your stoploss a little bit lower, it wouldn't have been executed as Oanda halted everything, and then only ...

OANDA Discussion

I guess you were lucky to have your stoploss hit before the halt, wasn't it ? Good for you !

OANDA Discussion

Unfortunately BlackBar, manipulating swaps according to demand on currency pairs is VERY common with forex brokers ;-( They can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and they use it ! I know how that feels. Some good higher level brokers use ...

OANDA Discussion

*ABSOLUTELY* NOT !!! Oanda halted everything, forbid anyone with a loosing position in a CHF pair to exit, or anyone with a limit order to cancel/modify it, and this for more than 1 hour. When CHF started to go up again, they enabled trading again. ...

OANDA Discussion

Cuchoflito: I don't think so. Oanda is NOT a bucketshop, which is a company that internalize everything. Oanda may internalize some of the trades, but in my understanding they hedge the majority of them, so it doesn't really impact them if you win ...

You're confusing with MICRO-lots. A "standard lot" is 100K A mini-lot is indeed 0.1 standard lot = 10K And a micro-lot is 0.01 standard lot = 1K

Real ECN/STP broker offering mini lots

Ezreal: The trailing stop IS a function of (desktop) MT4 by default, but many brokers disable some functions, like this one. So you have to check with each broker's MT4 to know. And even if you use the default MT4 downloaded from metaquotes, it ...

Broker with a pip by pip trailing stop

Exness are BIG scammers, I would advise everybody to stay away from them. They look good, but they use all the tricks in the book and don't expect to be able to withdraw your profits if you still have some after all their tricks.

Can anyone recommend a reliable Broker?
