OANDA Discussion

I don't know if this is the right place for this but I can't find any other suitable forum and calling customer service is a hassle for me right now.

Anybody trading wheat in Oanda nowadays? Did you notice that the price quote on its chart is off by 1.8 pips from what is reflected in your actual quote (trade interface)?

Here's the other quote...

Am I the only one having issue with Oanda ? Everything seems to be broken. I do not have any datas on the web platform or the mobile application that keep crashing !!

Oanda, could you please fix the "Daily financing cost" web page "Error fetching rates. Try again"...it doesn't work in any web browser...

Oanda, I have a question about free margin.
Suppose I have taken an oversized position where the margin is shown as 103.00% on MT4, which corresponds to roughly 48.5% on your mobile app.
As luck would have it my position takes off and I move the SL to breakeven + 1.5 pips, i.e. a guaranteed profit of $10.
I expect my available margin to increase so that I can take an additional large position.
I have noticed that you do NOT release additional margin, a.k.a. free margin for more trades.
Why not?
Is the CFTC/NFA preventing you from doing so or is this some kind of internal risk mgmt thing?
If I reach out to my Oanda account manager is that something that he can fix for me?
I am US based if that matters.

hello oanda,

I noticed if i deposit now an amount via card, i can withdraw only the same amount as deposited.

So if i deposit 50 for example and made profit and wanted to withdraw, only 50 is allowed for my transaction or that is the max. Why is this so?

Ty.

Oanda rose spreads since Friday:
EUR/USD + 20% (currently: 1.6)
GBP/USD + 20% (currently: 1.8)

also other currencies affected. No explanation, no one knows anything. Oanda is really bad these days. Sorry to say that. ANY EXPLANATION??? Hello? Someone still here from Oanda??

Is there anyone able to calculate margin for CFD leverage with OANDA?

I'm trying to apply the following formula but I seem it doesn't work

Margin: (Lots * ContractSize * MarketPrice) / Leverage * Margin_Rate

Thank you

Margin used = Lots_1 * ContractSize_CFD1 / Leverage_CFD1 + Lots_2 * ContractSize_CFD2 / Leverage_CFD2 + ...

Is it just me having constant issues with the mobile app? Not refreshing for ages, saying that it's not connected to the internet when it clearly is.

The browser version has "loading" issues with charts too when switching between time frames. I'm on Firefox.

i still don't understand why i can close seperate orders within a trade on the mobile app but can't do the same on desktop. like what a dumb design

OANDA is down...again.

Oanda, You are such a joke nowadays. Whenever there are major events, we cant login to either FXtrade platform or Mobile Fxtrade. And I had been waiting on your live chat support for the past 30 minutes and I'm still on the queue. Terrible service.

Hey Oanda, your garbage platform is down again. Big moves in some of the aussie pairs we can't access ANY of your platforms. Fortunately I'm on the right side of most of the moves for now. It's unbelievable how many problems I have on a daily basis with your website/platforms. Constant error messages, freeze ups and restarts, not to mention some pretty obvious stop hunting. What's really unbelievable is that I still have an account with you guys. If there were some better options for reputable fx brokers here in the US I would have been gone a long time ago.

To anyone considering Oanada, I'd definitely recommend against it (especially if you're outside of the US and in an area with better broker options).
