I thought the same thing after the post....but no, I don't work for them.
For new(er) traders, you really won't find a better broker. The minimum account requirements other brokers advertise are to lure new accounts knowing full well they have stand a 99% chance of over trading the account into the ground within the first week.
That kind of thing just ticks me off since I fell for it time and time again when I was first starting out.
Finally common sense hit me in the head and I realized that as much as the account rep called me, they weren't my friend and they could really care less about me as a person....they were merely trying to get me to deposit more funds. Those guys aren't happy unless you have at least $2500 in total deposits so their comission on the account is worth something.
Trading is dog eat dog....plain and simple. There are no friends in this business. The founder of this website is a RARE exception in that he's taken the time and effort to help new traders with little compensation.
So, I apologize for sounding like an Oanda employee; I actually work for big brother (gov), I'm just a loyal Oanda customer for many years now....
