You gotta question the motives of a broker that advises that ? when really '..with volatility comes opportunity..' [well at least for those with secret boxes smuggled out of nazi germany and similar such gizmo's.]

Maybe they've nicked all the client money and are going to end up like MF Global.

If I owned Oanda thats the very last thing I'd be doing ! Those guys have a golden goose, the last thing they want to do is slaughter it !

Maybe it's a bit of reverse psychology. How many people do what they're told?

Well, as a forex trader I have no intentions of staying out of the market. I agree with what bbmac said, "with volatility comes opportunity".

Yeah, I get whipsawed here and there and bang my head against the wall a few times but IMO it's more difficult to make money in a non-moving market.

Does not compute....sounds very odd indeed. A broker that does not want thier clients to trade ?

A sales gimmick, so they can come across as the caring broker, when in reality they're betting against you

Personally, I'd advise all retail punters to stay out of spot forex permanently.

hehe...you'd think someone with a name like "machin' cojones" would be a bit more daring :whistling

I applaud Oanda on this, sure volatility creates opportunity, but largely speaking volatility will destroy traders without a fair amount of experience. So while Oanda may take a hit in terms of transaction volume for a week or two - they are trying to prevent their clients from blowing themselves up.
