    Depositing/withdrawing money with Oanda

    I did not experience any problems on the live. But my son did have a problem with the fxgame - the values were all too high and it showed activity that was not his - however, it was sorted out by the time he logged in the next time.

    Indicators - are they worth the trouble?

    Hi, Having traded on the demo fx account recently and previously on stocks using charts I am coming to the conclusion that using indicators is a waste of time. I would love to be able to derive "signals" from using these indicators (I've especially studied the MACD, Stochastic and BB in forex...

    Update: Started the process rolling on Sunday night by filling in the online form on Oanda. Did the ID e-mail on Monday/Tuesday (problem with scanner).

    Depositing/withdrawing money with Oanda

    Hi, How easy/difficult is it to deposit/withdraw money with Oanda and what are the costs?

    Spread difference - am I seeing things?

    Hi, I've recently started to look at forex. I've set up a demo account on FXCM and OANDA. Just want to confirm if I have got this right. On OANDA the spread for EUR/USD is 10 pips whereas on FXCM its 5 pips. So on a round trip (if this is the right jargon) OANDA would be making an extra...

    Mechanics of Scalping?

    I have been reading "Day Trade Online" by Christopher A. Farrell in which he describes 'scalping'. Although he goes into the theory in great detail he doesn't talk too much about the mechanics. Can anybody here tell me how I can do that with UK stocks? Do I need to sign up with a specific...
