@aztoys yes there are some brokers that accepts paypal for deposit and withdrawal. If not mistaken alpari or ibfx. you could check those out
@shakiraa good luck finding that answer. every trader builds his own system and trades based on the fundamentals of the world.

I deposited my oanda account through TT .. withdrawal fee is USD25 which is quite standard for most brokers for 1st withdrawal within the month. Our local bank only charge us exchange rate.
Oanda pros and cons Oanda's instant execution and NO REQUOTES + SUPER LOW SPREAD (Eur/USD at 0.9 pips ) is the strongest point for oanda. However oanda lacks in terms of charting. Highest TF for oanda is only daily. However you could use a mt4 demo to do ur charts.

@rstusa Nope i've never withdrawn such a big amount. I withdrew only 1k usd that time.. I doubt any1 with that big amount of money in their fx accounts bother chatting here hahah. Withdrawal is okay for oanda so far no problems for me. It took only 2 days for mine. But my amount is small (USD1k) only when i withdrew..

I agree a little with what Adam has to say. Ppl that advertise their EA system and trying to sell the system, if your system works u dont need to sell it as you can earn from it. There's no reason to sell it.
Another part is to those that asks questions please ask useful questions. Not questions like "how to make money?" or "easiest method to buy n sell to make profit".
@jenny03 Oanda is not mt4 based. Its web-based using java. Anyway are you Jenny Teng?

Agreed  Most important thing i can tell you danny is control your greed and emotions in fx. Dont think of unrealistic amounts of returns (such as 100% return within a day) and you are set to go. Added on August 17, 2009, 9:19 pmCorrection! Well you could earn 100% a day. But at the same time be prepared to lose 100% also  cheers. Keep in mind losing is easier than winning This post has been edited by kelvin_tan: Aug 17 2009, 09:19 PM

One thing you should make a habit is to see the spread before even entering.

@sleepwalker I would like to make a correction on your part. Swap rates for mt4 brokers are calculated by days... on oanda.. its calculted by the seconds.. every second counts for the payment/receiving IR..

u can even start an account with oanda using USD 1.. however logically u wont because the TT fee and all far outstrips your capital

@sleepwalker care to explain to me why 0.01 lot would cost me USD28 to buy? or are you saying you require a minimum of USD28 to buy 0.01 lot ? Please be precise in your explanation as it is very misleading the way you put it.
And oanda you can even buy 1 unit which is 0.0001 USD per pip.. there is no specific lot sizes in oanda.

@sleepwalker the word PAYING IS SO MISLEADING LA ! please dont tell me i havent read up on what leverage is. I have been trading for a little more than a year. From what i deceipher from ur chat. Every 0.01 lot that i buy i have to pay USD 28...
this is your exact words "With a leverage of 1:50, each lot size (1.0 lot) is then divided by 50 which equals to USD2,800. Since you are buying a 0.01 lot size, you are paying USD28 per 0.01 lot."
You are seriously misleading others to believe that every 0.01 lot size purchased u need to pay USD28. I am not bashing or anything but read it from a newcomers point of view as there has been quite a number of new faces in the forum recently.

Yes oanda's leverage is low. But personally to me, the higher the leverage, the easier to MC if u fully utilize the leverage. Even at 1:50 i dun use it to the max. I set my leverage 1:30 only
