  1. Yes, how can this procedure be possibly NFA-compliant. Wondering what happens when one of those clients, that had a target hit with 1000 pips positive slippage, complains to the NFA that they adjusted a trade without notice and too late.

  2. I notice news about Japan. Perhaps these events are related to changes in bid ask spreads:

  3. For giggles, I gave my "friend" a call. He told me that the sheer number or trading errors is a nightmare and they hope to have it done this working day. They WILL be restored, however (all yen pairs that had the problem, which were three of them I think he said).

    I assure you, he knows what Oanda will do :)

  4. It would also be nice if Oanda would remove the bad ticks from their charts.

  5. I'm sure they're more concerned right now with account integrity. But I'm sure they'll get around to the charting.

  8. what I really don't understand is how an industry who can grow bigger than everything ( the retail side of trading ) that is sabotaging itself.

    Why video games are better coded ? run smoother, use less ressources for what they do...

    because only greedy programmer would work for bank/financial institution. The true hardcore crowed will stay away for such materialistic claim as money... they are Artists, yes sir with a Capital !
