Matthew Davis 30 January 2023

Advantages: Auto trading is supported, good trading conditions for novice traders

Disadvantages: Not so many CFDs

Comment: Lack of CFDs is the only disadvantage that I managed to notice, but I think that overall, this broker isn't bad at all. I'd say that it's a good option for novice traders, and it's not that hard to profit with auto trading there. Even if you won't choose that strategy, trading conditions there are great, compared to other traders, so I believe you won't be disappointed if you choose that broker.

Callum Wade 07 October 2022

Advantages: Training materials Quick and convenient withdrawal of earnings without commissions Fast verification High-quality analytics

Disadvantages: None

Comment: In general, if you look at it in comparison with other brokers, then they are very good in this office. There are quite favorable conditions, a convenient conclusion (it's still good that there is a bank of its own), many options for exactly how to trade. The main thing is to have a head on your shoulders and attentiveness. With all my desire, I cannot agree with a lot of negative reviews, a good and reliable broker.

Advantages: Transparent conditions Minimum margin requirements on accounts for beginners Fair spreads A lot of training and analytical materials

Disadvantages: There is no license of a reliable regulator Long-term verification

Comment: I invested in funds, in etoro, in traders. It's not long ago, while the indicators for a couple of months only. Plus. I will leave part of the deposit to these funds, and I want to scatter some of it to other funds, also in etoro. I don't trade on this platform myself yet, I only invest.

Jay Harding 05 April 2022

Advantages: The program interface is quite convenient Trading conditions are good

Disadvantages: -

Comment: I decided to try it on the foreign exchange market, I did not look for another broker, since there is Forex here, and the conditions and service suit. I have already realized that sometimes minor details in the conditions greatly affect the outcome of the transaction. In addition to profitable commissions, the broker also offers a welcome bonus of 50% of the deposited amount. I already had an account in the crypt, so the second time I did not receive an increase on the balance. I hope that it will be possible to raise the deposit without outside help, because there are prerequisites for this.

Advantages: Reliability of the company Favorable conditions Services for profitable trading Training and analytics Affiliate Program PAMM service

Disadvantages: Inconvenient site There is no bonus program

Comment: Broker Oanda is quite respected, primarily because of the authoritative regulator. For me, this is the main criterion when choosing a broker. I read their user agreement "from cover to cover" and did not find any pitfalls. As for other conditions, in general, everything is relatively good. A wide range of instruments, decent spreads.

Advantages: The broker offers its clients various trading products, including forex spreads, futures and options. The company also offers its own automated trading software that allows traders to trade on their own behalf.

Disadvantages: None

Comment: I used to work as a forex trader. I would prefer to use brokers that offer attractive spreads to their clients. This broker had relatively low spreads, which made it easier for traders like me to work in the market without having a big impact on the broker's profit.

David Burke 01 December 2021

Advantages: Brokerage commissions are cheaper Unlimited trading opportunities with real-time market data provided by OANDA markets, which gives traders an advantage over other brokers

Disadvantages: It is not available for all countries, which means that it is not available for people living in countries with limited access to Forex trading instruments. It offers only Forex trading with leverage on most of its platforms.

Comment: OANDA is a forex broker offering a wide range of trading instruments and stock indices. It has many advantages, but there are also disadvantages.

Jesus D. Nichols 30 November 2021

Advantages: Spreads: OANDA spreads are the most competitive in the industry. Leverage: Oanda provides leverage up to 1:500, which is unparalleled among other brokers. Broker: The broker has more than 27 years of trading experience and has been working since 1992. Scalping: It is possible to make a profit by scalping due to the low margin using leverage, but it can be difficult because volatility plays an important role in this form of trading.

Disadvantages: You need to register with them before you can start trading with them, scalping does not work.

Comment: OANDA is a company offering Forex and CFD trading services quite successfully, despite not small disadvantages.

Cornelis Smets 01 November 2021

Advantages: The minimum deposit is $1, an operational support service, a pleasant interface, a large selection of the most popular trading instruments, several reliable and reputable financial regulators.

Disadvantages: An inconvenient and poorly functional website, the broker's website is exclusively in English, there are no cent accounts, training materials, analytics, news and reviews are presented only in English, there is no opportunity to trade on cryptocurrency.

Comment: Oanda is the optimal broker for experienced traders and professionals. However, it should be noted that the broker focuses primarily on English-speaking clients.

Andrew J. Morris 01 September 2021

Advantages: There were several reasons for opening an account. There are no restrictions on the minimum deposit. The broker allowed opening deals on weekends using their own trading terminal in java. At the time, it seemed to me a great advantage, given the possible appearance of strong news on non-working days.

Disadvantages: The verification was quite complicated and took several weeks.

Comment: Oanda, in general, is designed for large customers, and is also one of the largest companies in the world. I would highly recommend it.

Advantages: none

Disadvantages: stop loss hunter

Comment: Everything looked right in the beginning with Oanda, but when I started making profits, strange things happened. I’ve read some reviews about Oanda’s stop loss hunting, but I shrugged it off. But I experienced it myself. I was lucky that I made only a small deposit. I closed my account last month and switched to eToro.

Bullish Trader 28 May 2020

Advantages: quick withdrawal, fast execution

Disadvantages: server crashes

Comment: I had been a client of Oanda for 3 years, and the first 2 years were my better days as a Forex trader, mainly because I had such an incredible experience with this company - fast execution of trades, innovative trading tools, quick process of withdrawals, and professional customer support.

But my last year with them was just terrible. I got disconnected to their servers a lot of times, even during non-volatile hours. Oanda wouldn’t even care to send notice when they’re going under maintenance. This had resulted in software issues and server crashes. Oanda would’ve been the best broker I had ever come trade with, they had gone complacent.

Jaruz Trader 13 April 2020

Advantages: Good overall

Disadvantages: slow support

Comment: My experience with Oanda was just short, 4 months. I didn’t leave because i had a lot of awful experience with this broker, it’s just that I wanted to focus trading with my primary broker.

Anyway, Oanda to me is a fair, good broker. I never had issues funding my account, well this isn’t really a problem with any broker lol. Withdrawals were also not a problem, although there were a few times where I had to flood their support team with too many emails cos of withdrawal delays. But in the end, I got my money. Oh let me also mention that their support could be a bit slow in responding to queries, like when I wanted to double check a slippage issue. Their support was only able to settle it after 6 days.

So overall, Oanda is good, but this broker should improve their support.

John Walker 15 July 2018

Advantages: No minimum deposit or minimum trade amount

Disadvantages: long time cashout

Comment: Oanda is my top rated-forex broker. It has the best platform, both in terms of its ease of use and in the breadth of the tools it provides. It also offers the most currency pairs, which gives you an opportunity to trade in exotic pairs that have the potential for high returns. It is also a good platform for trading other investment types and may be a good choice if you want to make non-forex investments.

Lisa Paig 21 October 2023

My account numbers are 414277 and 415506, and I have a total of $975,481 in my account. When I withdraw in February today, they found reasons to refuse my withdrawal. I found Eightcap's customer service and account manager through the background in the early stage, and they replied that they would help me deal with it. After a month or so, they find various reasons to prevaricate, and they have been emphasizing that please be patient, the financial team is dealing with it, it has been a few months, haven't it been dealt with? Since I can make withdrawal from my earnings on benarmstrong-trades i don’t see reason to continue here. I am now disappointed with Eightcap company, their way of dealing with it is to keep shirk, making me physically and mentally exhausted, please customers take a warning, now I just want to get my money that should belong to me. Being able to get my money back through the help of Cp-i n v e s t i g a t i o n. c0m reach them out for more information.

Connie Derrico 25 June 2017

Advantages: Been around over a decade, teaching tools, social updates

Disadvantages: Low leverage

Comment: Oanda is a good broker and it has been active since 1999. I chose them because no fraudulent broker can survive that long in business, and so far I was right. Everything about Oanda trading is effective and efficient, making them the best broker. I hate that I can't get leverage above 50:1, but in a way that also makes sure I don't lose too much money, kinda like an imposed safety net. Even with low leverage I don't want to change because I only see bigger complains about the other brokers, happy to stay where I am

Attorney Marissa Curl 26 October 2023

I write in support, swear. We are dealing with the situation. Not fast. But, in the end, everything was blamed on a failure in the terminal, some technical problems there. The deal was canceled. It's generally good that mistakes are recognized. But I would like to avoid such situations. The nerves are not iron. Opened a deal. Steady downward trend. Everything seems to be fine and then the hairpin goes up sharply. The transaction is at a loss. And the minus is not bad. I rushed to analyze the market, monitor other brokers. There is no such hairpin anywhere, as there was a downward trend, so it remained everywhere. Anyone else out there who has suffered significant financial losses as a result of fraud? For assistance, kindly go to cp-investigation (.) c o m right away. Do not let the perpetrators of these scams get away with ruining you financially. Get the peace of mind you deserve .

Elden Griffis 02 June 2017

Advantages: Good trading platform, wide range of products

Disadvantages: Wide spreads

Comment: As a US citizen, I really didn't have too many options, but still I find Oanda to have outdone themselves. They are a trusted brand with plenty of satisfied customers, me being one of them. On the side of trading, I have no problems at all because execution is very fast with minimal slippage even when there is a news announcement. A lot of instruments are also available to trade, I was surprised they even have bonds, but that is not for me, maybe someone with more patience can try that. Apart from the trading, finance is also commendable because I have made deposits and withdrawals a couple of times with no problems at all. My negative issues with the broker is spreads and costs. Spreads are wider than those you find on offshore brokers. I checked XM.com and Oanda does have much wider spreads, and these get worse when volatility is high. Then you need to trade bigger lots on CFDs like shares and metals, which is also higher compared to XM. BTW I make my comparisons a lot with XM because it's listed here as the top broker. However, these higher costs, I believe, are worth the safety of my money, so I would still recommend Oanda
