Convicted Felon
:err:
Hi, I'm new here and I hope I post this thread on the right place!
I trade with Oanda since almost 1 year, so far I have no problems with them. But in the last few days there are some strange things happening. Read this thread through.
OANDA FXMessage Forex Forum: Quotes of gold.
What made me laugh was the reaction of one of the senior members of the Oanda forum when I mentioned the FPA site. It seems that I touched some sensible point .... And the gold chart is still not fixed!
It would be interesting to hear some opinions on this case!

Hi, I've read the Oanda forum and it sounds very suspicious of them to handle this in this way.
I understand the moderator's responses, but I have to say it sounds suspicious when a moderator goes from = quick to defend without the facts; and also criticize the posters charts without the facts and further belittle the poster to suggest moving to beginner post.
Then after other posters have posted their support/chats which OANDA confirms that this does actually happen and they will fix the problem; and proving the moderator in error in both fact and his belittling tactics as well as his apparent politics of the subject the moderator provides no appology.
Further adding insult to the poster who mentioned they research other sites - one of which was FPA the moderator further insults the poster by indicating that he is reading a site that is hosted by a Convicted Felon.
The topic of Convicted Felon is known and FPA has no secret about the subject, however what the moderator of the OANDA has done is to indicate that somehow a non-related charge somehow means that it's related to FOREX SCAMS. And somehow a felon. This is untrue bye the way, but the personal attacks by forex brokers also is very suspicious without hard facts which will not be produced because it's false
You see this moderator on OANDA is using politics as you suspected because he would have you believe the any legal topic whether it be a speeding ticket or otherwise would be related to the information on the FPA site simply because the FPA founder/host may have some blemish on his record which is not even related to forex at all and I think this subject is posted on FPA as well. He emailed me once with a very satisfactory explanation about a charge which was not forex related and thus fully explained.
I once had a DUI when I was young, does this mean that now any business I"m in there will be those that will belittle any opinion I have or website I have because they could now claim that I have a criminal record so don't listen to me.
You see the politics this moderator used against you and the posters in the OANDA forum.
If he is not aware of what this looks like then I would suggest that he read the FPA site and get the facts about these subjects for themself.
Sorry for the long winded response but it appears clear that OANDA has recognized the mistake and as the support/chat indicates they should fix this problem I hope it turns out well for all.
I'm curious how this will turn out personally as well.
I'm currently trading MGforex.com but have always considered OANDA forex specifically based on their NO download charts which is the way to go in my opinion. I like the feel and look of the charts and the trading micro lots seems fun enough.
But with small lots you know, it's interesting that OANDA or anyone would think that someone is out to get them on such small amounts.
I mean it's the principal not the money, unless of course you lost a larger amount of money like one of those posters.
But for small traders who risk a small amount it's the principal is it not ?
The fact that someone made a mistake with your money and won't fix the problem
To use the OANDA moderators topic it's like ordering a chinese apples and getting african bannanas is closer to the proper analogy is it not ?
Then OANDA does not want you to complain they just want you to eat your african bannanas;and not to disagree that you ordered chinese apples.
Which reminds me I'm getting hungry I've never actually tried chinese apples or african bannanas, perhaps some shredded coconut,pecan peaces and yogurt would make a nice parfait LOL
Happy trading
