OANDA Review & Author's Comment

Founded in 1996, Oanda is one of the pioneers and leading brokers of online forex trading. I am not just saying, they truly are! The company is founded by two computer scientist and they launched the first online trading platform ever in 2001. That event is said to be a breakthrough for online forex and very first step for leveraged online forex trading as we know it now. Therefore all you guys should be grateful to Oanda for the convenience of trading forex online or on your mobile phone.

Oanda is headquartered in the US and regulated by renowned institutions such as CFTC in the US, FCA in the UK, ASIC in Australia and IIROC in Canada. Let’s take a look at the company’s cons first; leverage is 1:50 which is relatively low, spreads are relatively high, funding and withdrawal methods are limited compared to other forex brokers.  And pros now; it is a very reputable and reliable forex broker, they accept clients from the US and one of the few forex brokers which let you trade government bonds.
