Oanda.com - Dont trade with Oanda
Rated: Good [2/10]


Oanda is also one of the scam of Forex. These companies by giving the lucrative offers to different people have bankrupted them. They induce the people to invest more and more for a miraculous return of investments but infect they were fulfilling their purpose. People usually do not learn from other’s mistake that is why they prefer to get the fraud by themselves.

The soul purpose of a dealing company should always be to provide its customers the current and updated quotes instantly, so as to make them familiar with the growing market trends for buying or purchasing.

A good dealer should be available to provide you all the required information, should buy you the shares when you want, and should sell at the same time as per your orders. But with Oanda the case is reversed. Here it is not people who decide when to buy and when to sell. But it is the broker who decides when to sell and how much to sell.

There are numerous cases reported and the victims have nothing left in their hand except the curse. The company did not invest the amount which people wanted to and when people wanted to, but did something else which finally made them to come down on roads.

Many people have the opinion that the company will process slowly when your profit is growing but will process at a very faster pace when you are down falling, in either way making the traders to come down.

It has been reported by people that the trend figures which the company shows to its customers are different that the market trends. There is consistent alteration of the prices quotes. The company tries to make an illusion of profit in front of the small customers so as to increase their spending amount, thus making them in more pits. When the reality strikes them they are helpless as they have nothing to spend more.

Apart from money crashes they also get charged for transaction fees, brokerage fees whether you gain the profit or you are in loss. The system of the company is up to date to take all the charges but lacks somewhere when the thing comes of giving it

. Many people encountered a problem of leverages. They registered for 50:1 but in reality they could invest only half the amount they have in their account. So, if they want to invest their requested amount then they need to double their account money.

Therefore before choosing any of the brokerage firm you should study all the ins and outs of it. You should take a record whether the company is reliable or not. In the maximum case when the company offers your dream amount of money it is fraud.

 You should not invest your whole sum by trusting the broker, as it may be possible that you are investing your money on that broker but not on the market. Finally save yourself from the traps like Oanda.

Yes, I agree with this topic. I don't like OANDA. They don't have most of important tools such as trailing stops, OCO's etc. Not to mention the famous slippage.

I don’t trust to this market-maker. Their software always shuts down during NFPs. Software doesn't work properly. Be carefull with them.

Worst broker. they hunt your stops, and never allow you to win! they liquidate your position when they see you win! If you want to kiss your hard earned money goodbye, then by all means trade with them!
Avoid at all costs. They are a bunch of thieves.

I am not sure why people are reporting such bad experiences with Oanda. I have had nothing but good experiences. First of all, the do have trailing stops now so that is no longer an issue.

Second, all my orders are instantly filled and all stop loses and take profits have worked beautifully. When I manually get out of a trade, I get instant execution. No requote, no slippage.

Admittedly, I do not trade the news but that has always been a difficult way to trade.

Customer service has been excellent. They don't have a dealing desk so that is why they don't handle trade calls.

Overall, I am very pleased with Oanda and totally disagree with the previous reviews.
Also, I have no affiliation with this company.

I have been with Oanda for about a year. Oanda is a market maker so they actively trade against there customers. They actively hunt stop losses. Oanda's trading platform freezes often. I have lost my connection to my trading account while trading and they told me that I was having internet connectivity problems even though I could get to other web sites and log in to my email without a problem. They also did not know that I used to be a network administrator before telling me that I was having internet connectivity problems. Oanda is a highly manipulated environment. The correct term for this type of broker is a "Bucket Shop"

ECN brokers are the most free market breed of broker. They do not have a dealing desk that can be manipulated. ECN brokers want you to be successful because they make money when you make money. Oanda makes money when you loose. As time moves forward traders will opt for ECN brokers and market makers will go bust.

I don't agree with this topic. I've been with OANDA for 4 years and agree with Pete, they handle your trades fairly, they have the best prices and spreads and there is no requoting or trade rejection. Everyone gets the same price, so they couldn't possibly be stop hunting. I'm not sure whether the people who have negative reviews ever traded on OANDA's platform?

Who ever wrote this review is a complete idiot. All the claims are nonsensical and he doesn't understand how leverage works. Either this guy blew up his account and is angry or he works for a competitor.

To the person saying OANDA trades against you, they are the counter party to your trade and hedge their open positions. So they gain nothing but the spread when you make a losing trade. They would profit more if you continued to trade rather than blow up your account.
