Did anyone else get burned by OANDA's Stop Hunting Practices Today? v Zkušení obchodníci Feb 12, 2014 at 22:02

Dude, Oanda is not a broker. You are playing against Oanda, and unlike black jack, the dealer here sees all your cards when you place a stop loss order.Not only that, the other player Oanda sets the price, not the market or other players.

There's a huge difference between a broker and a Dealer/Market Maker.Meaning a broker has a duty with both parties to broker a fair and honest deal and has no other interest in the deal than making his commission and get paid the same no matter which party comes out on top.A Dealer/Market Maker makes his money by betting against the other party with the hopes of market volatility creating gaps in the prices so that he can make his money. That's why Dealer/Market Maker's make their money on the spread between the ask and the bid. Also they make their money by playing against their...

It's funny how people keep on referring to Oanda as a broker. I'm starting to wonder if those people are victims of a misinformation campaign by Oanda, or if they are Oanda trying to spread the misinformation. 😀

Hmm.First, Oanda is not a Broker. They are a Dealer/Market Maker. Stop loss hunting is not done at the broker level since brokers do not act as the party on the other side. How ever Forex Dealers which are acting as Market Makers are the counter party and this is where this activity occurs.See http://blog.currensee.com/2012/05/the-truth-about-stop-hunting/Again, if Oanda was a Broker which is what you seemed to have been mislead to believe you are simply wrong, or you are misrepresenting the truth.Furthermore, the fact that Oanda deals in micro lots further confirms they are a Market Maker ...

Yeah, I've been reading about the liquidity argument there for a bit. I can understand spread widening in non USD Major pairs, but not in USD Major pairs.In any event, I've been trading off and on for over 5 years and never got burned like this on a USD pair. Also, a lot of dealers offer fixed on USD Major pairs.With this said, if I want to trade with Oanda, I am going to have to employ the same strategy that I used for Exotic Pair Stops.

Just got burned this morning by OANDA's practice of setting their own prices on the USD/JPY pair in order to take out their customers stop loses so that they can profit. This happened to me this morning and I'm still pretty upset about it.But this is what you get when dealing with a bucket shop that may or may not be in financial distress and therefore feels the need to rip their customers off from time to time.....Anyhow, check out this chart and read my discussion with Oanda and judge for yourself and tell me if Oanda or I am wrong in this. Am I being unreasonable in demanding th...

It does not look like this was a winning strategy.

Oanda is about to add MT4 accounts v Obecné Feb 05, 2011 at 15:06

I miss the old OANDA capability. I'm not a fan of MT4 with their standard lot sizes. Also, for those doing demo, your simply out of luck, you need to open a new account.

Show Currne Profit/Loss On Open Trades Based off Marrket Prices v Box s návrhy Nov 25, 2010 at 15:10

It would be great if myfxbook showed the current profit/loss on open trades based off the current quotes for Oanda accounts, like it does with Oanda's trading platform. As it stands now, when you look at open trades, by not giving the current profit/loss it appears at least in my account that I am doing far better than I actually am at a given point of time. This would help demystify the numbers.

Tracking Equity In OANDA Account v Box s návrhy Oct 26, 2010 at 12:52

I'm a little concerned that myFXbooks is going to track equity by taking an NAV reading from OANDA verses using the following formulatBalance + (Calculated loss or profit on open trades) = equityThe reason for this concern is that OANDA to this date does not keep a history of your NAV except on it's monthly account statements. Therefore, if myFXbook is planning on taking the NAV on hourly intervals, that would also mean that these past NAV numbers would not show up on the graphs. Additionally if for some reason you had to reload your account on myFXbook all this data would be lost.S...

Drawdown by balance. v Box s návrhy Oct 26, 2010 at 12:43

Doing draw down according to balance makes absolutely no since. Apparently this fellow as the same ideas of many banks. Meaning, let's not show the true value of the accounts and make it seem that we are doing better than we really are.Additionally, as we all know. 4X trading is M2M. People should be looking at their equity and basing all their decisions off that number alone. Balance actually means very little in the real world of 4X trading. What matters is how much your account is worth at a given point of time.....
