Oanda Review
Overview
Oanda is a pioneering online Forex broker with offices around the world in San Francisco, Toronto, London, New York, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney. It is a member of the National Futures Association. The relevant regulatory authorities in Australia, UK, Canada, Japan, Singapore and the US oversee the brokers to make sure traders are protected. Variable spreads, low minimum deposits, no minimum trade size, no commission or account maintenance fees makes Oanda a popular trading platform for institutional and individual customers.
Accounts
Oanda offers only one type of trading account. This means that clients have limited choice, but it also means that all members have an equal footing. No minimum deposit is required, but trades are only possible with at least $1 in the account. Oanda is highly suitable for inexperienced traders who don’t want to invest a large sum. The demo account lets traders play around with all award-winning platforms that are available for live trading, with live prices and spreads for unlimited duration.
