Hi there

Is updating Oanda still not working? Does it depend on you to fix it or do we have to do anything different? Like use the old history version or something?

Thanks

To answer your question - yes and no.

Although Oanda servers are working, they are working slowly and for large amount of history records the connection breaks on our side if it's not finished fetching the data within several minutes.

We are currently working on a solution, and it should be fixed later this week.

Try to add your account as most Oanda accounts are not affected by this issue.

Thank you.

Is it possible to track only from a certain point of an account using the history? For example, I started over on a demo this week but the data continuously tracks old performance. Any ideas?

thanks.

Strange. When I copy the link and paste in the settings connection fails. When I change the last character (for instance w in v) the update starts and to my wondering works.....

and then I change the character to the original and then it works again...sometimes though I have to try serveral times...

may I will go back to my own analysis in Excel...

FPFX, the scenario you've described is actually impossible.
You must provide the link exactly as shown in your browser, or else the connection to Oanda's servers will not be established.

If you're still having issues, contact us privately and we'll resolve your issue as soon as possible.

Dear staff, I can confirm what FPFX posted. Sometimes(!) if I post a fresh history link I get a Failed after that Pending message. If I now remove one character at the end, I get an Active after Pending. That's rather strange.

Let us know if it happens again by sending a private message.

Thank you.

This is not a fix, rather a feature.

We're currently focusing on creating an authentication system for trading results so this feature has lower development priority and is not yet completed.

Hi Martin:

Do you have your Chronos fund chart on myfxbook? That would be nice to display it....

Thanks,

Sorry guys, does this Oanda thing update by itself ? Or do I have to paste a new link every time I want stats? Or does it update when I do a trade or what's the story?

Mines stuck on 26 minutes ago and it's not a big history.

I thought I had to paste a new Oanda link each time I wanted a new analysis, providing I had entered new positions from previous link paste. This is because the Oanda account history link changes daily.

What I do now is post the Oanda link for each day I want to use myfxbook for analysis. This may be ad hoc midweek or at least at close of play every Friday to update my records.

Hope this helps.
