Tracking manual oanda account?

Hi! I want to use OANDA platform for manual trading, and track performance here..

Is it possible to install MT4 with OANDA and track als trades that are done with OANDA platform, not MT4...

Any suggestions how to do this kind of tracking with least hassle...

Thanks,
-Mika

Might be.

As long as your trades are over 1000 units and move in increments of 1000, which means you might as well use MT.....

Open trades placed on OANDA platform aggregate to your MT4 platform, so yes you can track performance. Reason being that MT4 server is actually just a bridge from the FXTrade server.

Basically just setup MT4 with Myfxbook like normal then place trades using OANDA platform. The only thing that won't aggregate to is open limit orders (buy/sell limit) but those placed on MT4 will aggregate to your OANDA platform.

Ok, so I can also track performance from my historical trading, before I installed MT4??

Yes, MyFxBook will collect all previous history, but only from your MT4-enabled OANDA account. In other words, if you have traded on a primary account and then create a MT4-enabled sub account then only trades made on the MT4-enable account will aggregate.

Hi,

I have a similar issue. I want to trade using FX Trade, but have the trades tracked here.

So, I can do anything usual with FX Trade, including using upper/lower slippage limits, which are not allowed in MT4?

Another difference would be I can only trade incremental of 1000/10000. Can I trade 150000 as an example?

Thank you.

I am not 100% sure about the upper/lower slippage limits...Oanda's MT4 does not have slippage section...and I never use it even on FX Trade since quotes are usually quick and accurate enough. But I do know that if you place a limit order on FX Trade then it is stored on server and once it activates it will show up on MT4 as open order regardless of initial parameters.

Yes you can trade whatever you want in FX Trade, and it will just show up as fractional in MT4. For example, 150000 in FX Trade would show up as 1.5 in MT4; 10000 would show up as 0.10, 1000 would show up as 0.01, etc. MT4 allows fractional units to the thousandths only...i.e., 39000 would show up as 0.39, but 39600 would likely be rounded and show up as 0.40 (though technically you still only have 39600).

Hi Splexin,

Thank you for the useful answer. So, everything can be done manually using FX Trade and MT4 is just registering the trades. Is there a way to see open oders (using FX Trade) on MT4 platform?

Thank you again.

Correct.

No, open orders placed on FX Trade do not aggregate to MT4, and I am unaware of any method that would allow it to do so; however, open orders placed on MT4 will aggregate to FX Trade.

Thank you.

I successfully managed to report trades from Oanda MT4 platform and all works fine, but have problem with trading privileges approval, because Oanda automatically attaches some ticket number to every order executed, which replaces the approval comment code I try to insert there.

Thank you.
