Yesterday I found Oanda, and I was impressed from the moment I got on the website. The live chart they offer directly on the trading platform, lower spreads, and you don't have to switch from a mini account to a standard if you are a newbie. You can enter $1 or $1,000 per pip, it does not matter.
However, with all of that factored in, I looked at the past 7 days for their spreads and just for EUR/USD you could get it at a 1.2 spread two times last week. From there it ranged from 3 to 15 for the spread, and it did hit 15 three times! I am torn, because I love everything that Oanda has to offer, but I don't think I can handle a 15 pip spread when I could get a steady 3 or 4 pip spread at the highest through FXCM.
I would love to here from anyone that has used Oanda, and tell me what you think.
