No problems what.
The more often you exchange (scalping, etc.), the more you'll get slipped. Their feeds lags behind the actual market sometimes also, which is typical for dealing desk feeds.
The only complaints I know are concerning the spread widening through news. I must say that the majority of the complainers have no real clue how things happening in the FX market. Spread widening and slippage are common matters...
The only real complaint I ever had was a filled limit order where the price never reached the order but was filled anyway: http://www2.oanda.com/cgi-bin/msgboa...;f=17;t=003585
But Oanda did react extremely fast and credited the reduction to my account.

Well, yes. If you scalp I'd avoid any market maker. But using limit orders they can not play that kind of match with you.

utilizing limit, fill-or-kill (FOK), or FOK Limit is definitely the way to trade on any platform. That will prevent getting slipped, but it still will not make you immune to missed chances as a result of missing a load you shouldn't have since the market maker manipulated the price (delaying the feed, etc.).Originally Posted by ;
