Overall, I quite like oanda:

PROS:
1. No software to download - I can trade from any PC
2. Interface is simple
3. Seem to be very ethical and more financially sound than other shops
4. Can trade Gold and Silver (very risky!!!)

CONS:
1. Charting is basic with few indicators (enough though for real forex traders )
2. No trailing stops
3. Spreads widen during news

Kyle,

You can also try Onada's software in demo mode, its called FXGame and it never expires.

Just watch out for the widened spreads around news time with oanda, it can trigger a stop. Hope that helped.

I still stand by this statement....not too bad, but hey nothing's perfect.

well, the thing is they've got a free gameplay account that never expires; it's rather handy to test out some trading ideas and honing skills before commiting real cash to trdade forex.

oanda had no problems at all. Trades are always quick to fill, never gotten a requote, and there are no problems withdrawing funds. No slippage, excellent customer service, Good spread, good lot size etc are impressive.
