Ok, I know all of the Oanda lovers couldn't wait for this thread. From what I've read on this forum, Oanda is the ultimate, absolute best broker ever! In fact, I was already to join the bandwagon until I saw this scary post at fxfisherman.com

Now, everyone makes mistakes. But this is a bit much don't you think? And, the question remains, how can this "manual" error happen when it's a no dealing desk automated setup?
I wanted to switch from FXCM to Oanda for 3 reasons:
1) Lower spreads (well sort of, see above)
2) Ability to use metatrader with Oanda feed (haven't figured out how to do this, but I hear it can be done)
3) Their bill of trader rights
So there it is...let the fireworks begin.
