Love Oanda been using them for over years great customer support platforms are great pricing is fair. They back their clients
Executes nice and quickly and haven't experienced that much slippage at all.
Can barely use any symbols on trading view.
Love the custom experience oanda provides, deposits and withdraws are quick and easy!
Forex spread are too high which makes scalp trading difficult, plus to withdraw funds takes over 3 days+ which is ridiculous!!
Not many stock options
The only downside to "the Oanda TMS brokers" is that I can't trade most of the normal markets, the indices that are available are generally laughable, but otherwise the broker is excellent
Usually good but wouldn't let me close a trade which resulted in me losing money
The platform is easy to use and very straightforward. They also offer the OANDA app, which allows you to trade conveniently. One feature I appreciate is that the app clearly shows the percentage fees you’ll be charged if you hold a trade overnight. This transparency makes it easier to manage and understand your costs.
The Oanda FX Trade platform is easy and my favorite platform. I always recommend Oanda. Only charge I would make is the spread at 4pm till 5pm which can get wide. I am sure other brokers do the same but that is my only complaint.
Can’t connect with broker through TradingView. Gets stuck on loading screen even though credentials are correct and have tried all of their troubleshooting methods.
