Understandably so - some of their spreads are a bit high nowadays

Spread on Loonie was 10 pips earlier today (now 5)
Elsewhere 3 pips all day.

EY presently 5 - MT brokers 3.

The profile setting wont retain my colours for Heikin-Ashi

I reckon it should so I've logged some feedback.

Thank you for your interest in OANDA FXTrade. Once you make color changes on Heikin-Ashi chart, to save these changes, go to "Tools" and then "Save Current Profile".


My reply was

Thats not very helpful because what I'm trying to tell you is that doing that doesnt work.

You test it out!


Their reply was

To change color on Heikin-Ashi Candle chart, right click on the candle, it will show "Rising Color" and "Falling Color". Select the color you wish to change to and save your settings go to "Tools" and "Save Current Profile".
We have already tested it out and it is the only way to add colors to the candles

Hard to get good staff nowadays :mad:

Suggest you 'ask to talk to their superior', if that doesn't work ask for Michael Stumm (he's the boss).

here in the hinterland of QLD the Optus wireless only gives me a max of 5 KB/s so thats effectively dial-up speeds.

Good that Oanda still works tho!!!

I never realised that Oanda has a trailing stop feature but its there in the market order screen! So I will test it out - this has always been a criticism of the platform but seems like I've been blind to it. I'll test and advise

Hi Peat

I knew it was there, but haven't used it so far. I have a feeling you have to set the trailing stop at the time of placing the order.

Let me know how you get on

the trailing stop is an orange line and its definitely moving up on my long position , nearly to break even tho it doesnt change the originial setting of the s/l showing in the trade info in your trades display area

Peat

Do you place that trailing stop at the onset, and can you amend it later?

[peat]

i placed it at the beginning of the trade but didnt attempt to alter it. I will try that sometime soon. Ironically I would have done much better without a trailing stop last night , cant have it both ways i guess.
