Simple's Green Room

Thanks Kirby. I've tried several brokers over the years and I've been very well pleased with Oanda. Just the fact that they allow you to place odd sized trades is of great value. Most brokers limit you to even-sized increments only such as micro, mini, or full lot, which restricts traders to the FIFO rule. The odd sized trade increments allow you to close them out in any order. I can't imagine trading with the FIFO rule, which really makes no sense to me at all. That ruling should have never been passed.

Overall dependability with Oanda has been good with some occasional exceptions. The worst I remember is a few years ago when they went down for several hours but that was the only long term outage I remember over 9 years of trading with them.
