Anyone care to share their horror story w/ a specific broker? We would love to hear the narrative relived.
To start, we had the 30 pip EURUSD spike on Oanda last week....

hey guys.... This isn't where I wanted the thread to go.
Kurka: there was a thread posted last week where the guy showed a screen capture of Oanda spiking 30 pips away during normal market conditions (no news even close.) You're able to hunt for your proof there.... I'm too lazy to find it, but it is there if you need it.
Please, let's not enter platform freeze/spread widening talks during news releases. Let's discuss your spikes that occured during normal market hours.
thanks.
Ps) if that thread doesn't do anything for you, kindly move on. Thank you beforehand.
Well... Yes.Originally Posted by ;
I have an account with them, as well as with ABN Amro and Alpari UK. All 3 are fantastic. Oanda has executed more than 370.000.000 transactions since starting. Of course there are some glitches and spikes and wrong orders.
But all I(!!!) Can say (and I trade just a 5 figures account there with place dimensions around 100,000-300,000 components): They're fine, can not complain. I do about 2-6 trades per day...

Oanda appears to be getting bad these past few weeks, especialy before and after news reports. Their prices are so off real market quotes at times its crazy.
My broker looks like this:

Dr watson! Dr watson! come quickly! We've got a **dwelling** specimen. The world believed this species went extinct years ago!
Apatobaro brachycanthus leptosenilis
heavily deceived thin spined a single (lanky yellow rabit hunter)
Oanda is SUCH a dinosaur! I used to trade there.
Men, can we get titles of brokers that are currently screwing customers?
That is what I am after.... Building a record of horror stories w brokers.
Thanks.
I'd really like to see any evidence of this ? / ? It seems to me that the brokers would not participate in this kind of activity because it could be 1) illegal and 2) counterproductive to their business. The more likely scenario in my view is the traders getting stopped out only simply made bad trades and are searching for a person to blame.
1) It's not illegal, marketmakers are perfectly within their rights to quote whatever they prefer, fill whatever they prefer, reverse transactions, hunt stops, miss targets, it is all in the agreement.Originally Posted by ;
2) 90 percent of the customers probably don't even notice anything isn't right!
But you wanted evidence so here you go, Oanda at it's best...(watch quotes 20 seconds in)
