Accounts and Commissions
OANDA provides its customers with the most attractive and comfortable trading conditions. It guarantees customers a 24/7 service support and qualified help via email, by telephone, etc. The minimum deposit amount is 1 USD that is suitable for Forex beginners. They can also check their skills on a demo account. In addition to that, the company regularly arranges webinars and seminars for its clients.
The maximum leverage is 1 to 50. OANDA guarantees narrow spreads without any commission and instant execution of transactions. It offers more than 80 currency pairs, CFDs, precious metals, commodity assets, world indices, shares of large corporations, etc. OANDA does not distinguish types of traders and offers a single standard type of trading account with no minimum transaction size. Unfortunately, the broker does not provide for welcome and other bonuses.
The low cost of executing sales orders is influenced by low spreads and the automatic execution of orders without refusals unless the trader wants to set an upper or lower limit to protect his deposit from price volatility.
Trading Platforms
Traders use the Meta Trader4 trading platform and FXTrade terminal, the company’s own software. It should be noted that both platforms support mobile devices. The MT4 trading platform is highly reliable among the online community due its multiple features and smart tools. To run FXTrade WebTrader, customers need to use JAVA.
