Seems like I'm leaning the right direction here, as I'm deciding if I should use oanda or forex.com.

They have been rated as a top 10 online startup by silicon alley insider as well.



I guess this thread really has given me more reasons to deposit some real money into their company.

Thanks for all the opinions in this thread it is very handy for someone just about to open their first account.

The only thing I am concerned about is the fact that it is an American company. I would much rather use a UK company with the protection of the FSA. Any opinions on US regulations compared to UK regulations in the forex market?

I would equate the NFA to the FSA.

Default Topchess...followup question

Hello Topchess. I just downloaded FX game from Oanda and started comparing the data stream between MT4 (northfinance) and Oanda. They appear to be fairly close...usually within a pip or two. One thing I've noticed however is that Oanda's daily bars close at midnight while MT4's close at 5pm EDT. Since I place my entry and stop loss orders on the breakout of a given bar (on MT4) at first I thought that this could potentially cause a problem. You've been trading using the MT4 and Oanda for some time now. Have you run into any problems? Thanks.

You can change your Oanda platform to any timezone you wish,
therefore equalising this effect.

Go to Tools > User preferences > Locale > Timezone.
