We have no "dark pools" or internal liquidity creating a price for you that someone else can benefit from. Our pricing is exclusively sourced from a global network of premier banks and that's all. We do not selectively pick orders. No one at OANDA has the ability to target your positions, hunt your stops or change your pricing.
Our technology
We own the quality of our forex trading system because we've built it. Other trading platforms frequently forward your trades to third parties that may or may not accept your trades. When you trade forex with OANDA, you know that when the markets are moving your orders are filled.
Execution firewalls
Our system is fully automated. It was built that way, from the ground up. Commission charges are assessed on the buy and sell sides of a trade. Trade sizes greater or smaller than 100,000 will be charged on a pro-rata basis. The minimum commission of is $0.01 per trade.
Commission charges will be converted to the account home currency using our prevailing rate in effect at the time of the trade. Other account maintenance charges or financing fees may apply.
Events and spreads
At certain times and in certain market conditions, our spreads could be wider than usual. This includes the opening and closing of markets and major international or geopolitical events which have an impact on the relevant market(s) in other particular circumstances.

Frequently asked questions
In the event of no open trades in your account for a period of at least 24 months (12 months in the United States), a monthly fee of 10 units of the currency in which your account is denominated will be withdrawn (with the exception of accounts denominated in JPY and HKD, which will be charged 1000 JPY and 75 HKD respectively). For example, if your account is in SGD, you will be charged 10 SGD, and if your account is in USD, you will be charged 10 USD, etc.
Your account will be charged until one of the following conditions are met:
- You close your account
- You resume trading in your account
- The balance of the account is reduced to zero. (An inactive account will not incur a negative balance.)
No, an account that has not been funded, will not incur a negative balance.
No, the inactivity fee is being applied at the user level meaning if you trade in your primary account or any of your sub-accounts you will NOT be charged. Also, the fee will only be taken from one sub-account each month, so you will not be charged multiple fees in any one month.
If you have resumed trading after inactivity fees have been withdrawn, you can request a rebate up to 3 months’ worth of the inactivity fees based on how many months you have been charged. If you would like to deposit funds into your account and continue to trade, please refer to our 'How to fund your account' FAQ.
At OANDA we apply a holding/rollover charge or holding/duration rollover credit for positions you keep open over time. Our holding charges/credits are calculated in relation to positions maintained on a continuous basis rather than as a daily roll charge. Find out how financing is charged and paid into your account.
Roller/holding charges are based on market conditions and the rates we receive from our liquidity partners.
Our funding rates for forex consist of a blend of underlying liquidity providers’ tom-next swap rates and an administration fee.
