Re: Oanda just another bucket shop

Spreads were wide 20 then 30 for 2 to 3 minutes at most, dropped to 5 on euro for another minute or two, then back to 1.5 to 1.2.

I was disconnected, but was able to log back in immediately, happened twice.

I will not enter during the wide spreads, and they can be a pain when trying to manage stops during the news. But these are the only problems I have experienced, never had a problem being filled or slippage.

They have some good interest to boot.

Have thought about stepping up to an ECN type broker but a couple of friends have had similar or worse problems with them.

As long as I know what to expect I know how to manage it. over all I like Oanda they are not without their faults.

fwiw,

bear
