oo.....leading me a bit clear now...but how about marketiva rely on?
if not mistaken marketiva --> spread 0.3?

not 0.3 pips but 3 pips..most of trading platform rely on this news at forexfactory.com..

oo i see....3 pips, is that a big gap? shit man., i found myself so noob lol.... -.-"

pls dont get mad on my noob question oh
but try to lead me ...thanks

for sure,that's is a big gap and that effect our profit..

Very true and they 'hang' the platform during major news.

what is this weekend spreads in oanda ? you can trade on weekends ?
If i avoid trading during news hour will that be good ?

lol. what luqmanz said is true. IMO u can easily avoid the high spread time in Oanda. Sometimes the market can change 100 pips even on a non-news hour. You just need the patient for the opportunity to come.

Not to mention Oanda Spread are generally a bit higher during pre/post weekend (Monday Morning, Friday night) I generally do not trade in these 2 days. It is generally much harder to predict the market trend in these 2 days. Right now typing this reply Monday morning 10.15AM the spread @ Oanda is 2.0.

The lowest spread I saw Oanda offer is 1.2 Spread. Thats Last Thursday.

Siaokia,

The spread is showed on Oanda platform when u do trading.


PS: Bloody Hell The whole internet line is laggy I got slip for every open and close position. Lucky I am still in Virtual mode. I wonder when I can be live again, since last yr's earthquake.

USD/JPY penetrated it's 3 years high. Seems like a very strong uptrend.

Haha I have this problem to with ThinkorSwim. I stopped trading live since the quake. Now just trying out forex and learning new systems. Still many things to learn.

dammnit ... NFP this Friday ... I hate NFP lol.

Dear all,

May i know where to get free charts?

any broker provides free charts. Just register for the demo accounts.
Northfinance.com

from all chat till today...a lot of u recommend oanda ,....isn't it?

ermm.... what problem i face with oanda is if the connection hv problem .. the whole software cannot be load and cannot trade... and keep on refresh and refresh... .. is better u read through the internet review or try thier demo account 1st.. choose which u like .

Their platform is develop in Java. Sometimes it take quite a lot of resources, but for a new PC it shouldnt be a problem. The only problem I face now is our line to their server is quite slow since the quake. The connectivity is improved a lot but it is still too slow for a active scalper like me. During a market with high volatility 1-2 seconds delay can mean a 1-3 pips difference.
