Anybody using the Advanced Charting which is a Trading View copy, but without some usefull features (like price alarm)?
I do all my charting in Trading View and would love to use same layout for my order executing, but still using MT4 for that.

I discovered some bugs in Advanced Charting ...my patterns disappeared from the chart. Customer service admittd its a bug.
okay, i can live with that, that i still have to use TV for my charts but how about price alerts?
Nope, doesnt work in Advanced Charting. Customer Service says I should use fxTrade to set alerts. But I experienced that the alerts come with a delay!

so my question: anybody having a solution to use Advanced Charting instead of MT4 and have full access to my charts in TV and have a good workimg price alert?

Make sure you have the syncing turned on. When you close and open up the advanced charting again, you need to switch between the currency pairs before it loads right back up again.

"[quote=EdWfx;9493895]Anybody using the Advanced Charting which is a Trading View copy, but without some usefull features (like price alarm)?"

It looks like OANDA is only renting a "lite version" of Advanced Charting"...we only get the very basics, the real thing is awsome, full of functions and features: indi sharing and programming, template saving, forums, etc. etc..
BUT at least itīs a start, I use it on the side...an extra little help...full functionallity would be great though...

Anyone have connection problems last night? Mine went down at around midnight EST and two hours later nothing. My desktop, iPad and iPhone would not connect to the platform. Talked with support who claimed all was well and eventually they blamed my service provider. Internet was fine with no outages. This morning all is well with the connection.

Gents,

I am having some issues with Oanda fxtrade Desktop. I have been in contact with their customer services/support several times and they don't seem to have a clue.

Its difficult to describe what is happening other than the login window and the main fxtrade window acts erratically when I mouse over it. I don't seem to be able to find anyone else with these issues so probably the issue is with my PC. Its a bran new build, top spec running Windows10. I have x3 Ultrawide 34"" monitors and a 65"OLED connected to a GTX1080 graphics card.

So I'm thinking it might be something to do with a resolution/graphics card issue. Its the only software I have issues with everything else runs flawless. I have tried changing to different resolutions etc.

Maybe some of you have experienced something similar with fxtrade desktop that could assist with a resolve?

Many Thanks in advance for any help...

Below a quick video showing the issue.

Adding a token here for Oanda.
This broker is good, I'm trading with $900 AUD and made a profit of $1800 AUD over 11 months, withdrawing $2,700 AUD with no problem.
Odd numbers are odd.

So I transferred from FXCM to Oanda and I have to say Oanda's spread spikes are just ridiculous. I don't know what else to say as these spikes have very little to do with liquidity. I wish Oanda would change to a commission based model as trading in an environment like this is extremely difficult for any short term target trader. At this point, I view Oanda as only suitable for long term and swing systems.

oanda widening spreads during news for years. And everybody knows about it. Its suitable for short term trades as you'll be kicked out of your positions almost all the time due to spreads.

I transferred over from FXCM as well and find the FX Trade platform to be okay for most of what I need. Have seen some large spreads around news events (FOMC today) and at end of US trading day but that's fairly normal. It appears they are going to roll out some type of commission and spread model soon.

Yeah it was a personal email I received and when I clicked the link it ad all my account info populated. I deleted my personal info and reattached but when I opened it populated my account info again. sorry but did not want to send with personal account info. It is strange though that there is no generic link as I couldn't find one either so I just sent the screenshot.

Do you only trade short term at 5:00pm est? or does it spike all day every day?

20 pip max spread around 5 PM EST on the Oanda platform on pairs like GBP/JPY for example, what's so unusual about that?

No, the spikes are at odd times, especially on crosses. Just set the Oanda historical spread tracker to max and take a look for yourself.

Could you show us an example of a spike at "odd" times, even with the max spread setting on?

I've come to the conclusion that with Oanda you can't trade using market orders due to the frequent news and non-news spread "spikes" you cite. But with (marketable) limit orders based on spread midpoint it is doable, though you miss some fills.
