In addition to my previous review I discovered more problems with the Oanda platform.
You cannot have separate positions on the same instrument. For example, if you enter a short trad at a certain level, then add another position at lower price the platform averages the entry and consolidates two positions into one. Accordingly, you cannot manually exit one of them and keep the other, you have to kill them both.
You cannot have two positions in opposite direction and therefore hedge. If you are short and place a stop buy order above your initial entry the platform will liquidate the initial position and you will be flat. Again, this limits your ability to manage the trade.
I still keep a small account with Oanda, but it is for experimentation only. The bulk of my trading is done elsewhere now.
Jun 28, 2022 - 3 Stars My only issue with this company is their platform: it is very slow. Impossible to day trade - switching between time frames can sometimes take up to half a minute. If you are using five minute bars this can end up in a loss. While writing this review I timed how long it takes to load the graph. Australia 200 Index CFD, switching from daily to 15 minute chart took 15 seconds, from 15 min to 5 minute chart - 25 seconds, from 5 minute to 1 minute - 45 seconds.
Another, more recent issue - MultiCharts connectivity suddenly disappeared. WHich means I cannot run automated strategies.
