I've repeatedly heard good things about them, I guess I have to take a closer look now... thanks for the tip
Yeah, but to be honest personally i find the only way to find out about new brøkers is to try them out live with a small deposit

I made some 12min after... unfortunately not 18min after, but the spread was 7.5pips for 18 minutes on GBPUSD, and also still increased on any other gbp pair. You can see the same for gbpjpy in the screenshot... and a few spreads on the spreadsheet. It totally ruined newstrading for me... so in the future, I have to think about how to circumvent the spread on news problem. I still hope it is some "technological difficulty on my pc"... but I seriously doubt it.

The oanda representative was not helpful too, so I am waiting for their techs feedback...

A...
Widened spread couldn't possibly be due to anything your end...

Take a look at their historical spreads next time and compare it with what you are getting. Here's the link

Oanda confirmed the 18min spread increase on gbp, but they said it was the same for everyone. I guess I am done with oanda if pepperstone does it for me.

Yea I thought the same, open a small account and see how it goes. I will miss oandas java app and 5sec charts though... was so nice to place orders with that software.

Good choice. Take a look at this, it may be a happy alternative to the 5 sec charts

Rooicol's MT4 tick chart is awesome and I use it myself.

I second his suggestion.

Also, while you won't be using it for order entry, you can always keep fxTrade up and running for charting on the side.

Maybe YOU did something wrong?
Closed my account too.
Reasons:
1. I noticed that spread widens when approaching my stops.
2. I trade with net-orders and I can not close latest opened order. It is not the case on IBFX or FXCM where you can close any order at any time
3. Numerous tricks when I wanted to withdraw funds. It took me almost one month to withdraw all my money.
So, good bye OANDA. You pleased me sometimes.

today i got lots of disconnections and still continue... i'm using oanda europe, from italy.. did anyone else notice that issue? fxtrade loads normally (a bit slow) but then my graphs saved doesn't load and continues to disconnect and reconnect
i tried to contact the support but as you know they're a bit retards, they told me the usual things.. "try another browser, use fxdesktop, empty java cache etc"... but all these things didn't work and, as i said early, disconnections continue now
i'm a bit tired of this situation, and i'm considering of changing broker.. any advices?
thx

No disconnects here. Might as well be your ISP. Mine is acting up from time to time too.

To say that you are having problems with the oanda's platform is a redundancy, LOL!

Ever heard the phrase: The only 3 sure things in this world are, death, taxes and oanda's platform instability.
