depends on the timeframe, if something like H4 or daily then the opening bar could be different times and so different calculated EMA's

How long does it take for a $10,000+ check deposit to be approved? I am guessing it takes longer than a check under 5 figures? Please only respond to this if you're speaking from personal experience. I have been waiting on this since Tuesday.
It has taken about 10 days from the time I mail it. Did you mail it on Tuesday?

Yes, it's been 8 days since it was mailed. It cleared the bank yesterday so I am guessing it will be credited sometime today. Such a painstakingly long process, but it's definitely better in the long run.

Wow, fxtrade has crashed repeatedly on me recently, especially at session openings and news.

Seems to be getting worse and usually it's inaccessible for many minutes or more.

At present, over 1/2 hr w/no access--it crashed after FOMC minutes--I could understand short-term outages but >1/2 hour?? Really???

OANDA seems to be deteriorating in multiple aspects.

No bueno.

I haven't had any issues with fxtrade. Are you using the desktop or web version?

Here is the desktop version, if interested: http://fxtrade.oanda.com/trade-forex/fxtrade/desktop

I've had no issues either. Ben using the Java version on a MAC with no issues today. Smooth as silk.

Live chat rep gave me false information. After the 48 hours was up, OANDA was called & I was informed that it would be credited on Monday(next week), instead of yesterday or today like I was originally told.

The check was mailed last week Tuesday(12th). Let's assume it was received late Thursday(14th) so it didn't count as a business day. Last week Friday added to this entire week amounts to 6 business days. This upcoming Monday(26th) will mark the 7th business day.

From OANDA's website:
"Up to 7 business days upon receipt (includes time for the check to clear)."

So basically your options are to get raped on deposit fees by the Paypal jews, get raped on withdrawal fees by OANDA+your bank, or waste eons of time waiting for a check to clear. I will be taking full advantage of the cheap withdrawals as retribution for all this wasted time. It will only cost $45 to get weekly checks(4 per month) from this account.

Thanks for the suggestion--fxTrade just crashed 3x in 20 minutes...no way could OANDA stay in business this way--I have been opening it from Firefox so will try the desktop launch.

Yea 3 times in 20 minutes is not good, obviously. I hardly ever have any crashes (desktop or web-based versions). That leads me to believe it might be on your end, but who knows. I believe the desktop version also uses java, but it seems to be a little bit more stable.

Tried desktop fxTrade today--no crashes

I have AdBlock Plus and some other add-ons to Firefox--those probably are largely or entirely responsible for instability with the web-based version. However, some part possibly has to do w/OANDA because the platform invariably shut down during high-activity times--session openings and news.

So, a big "thank you" for the desktop suggestion.

I wish oanda supports Moneybooker. Making paypal deposit from my country is very problematic.

{quote} If I had a limit order set up and a news release came out, often they would cancel that limit order (not filled). Typically I have orders of 30- 40 limit and they would not be filled. Others have stated during times of high activity, filles do not occur unitl 50-60 pips later which explains the cancels.
Well this explains the behaviour on all my AUD trades tonight. I knew the RBA had a interest rate statement, so I placed by Buy and Sell stops outside the periphery of the range. Then the movement happens and all my trades appear unfilled in the history. Missed out on a huge move, which a buy stop would have captured...

Does anyone know a way around this other than by opening up a 1M chart and hitting the trade button as close to news release +01 seconds as possible?

Today on Oanda I took a long trade on AUDNZD. I was stopped out plus 10 pips slippage. Oanda showed a lowest price at 1000 New York Time of 1.15139, while on all other brokers the lowest price was 1.15431, so Oanda's price was approximately 30 pips below the consensus price. My stoploss was at 1.15363. The trade went on later to hit my take profit level. The Oanda rep would not make any adjustments. I understand that these things may happen sometimes and this is part of the risk one takes when trading, and there was a news event at that time. But I thought it best to provide this warning to be careful with this broker.
