Sorry -- that was me that somehow misattributed that to you -- I of course wrote that, in support of your original post. That's what the +1 meant. The follow on was my own view that supports yours and is critical of trivialising this issue. My apologies for the confusion.

I live in the UK.For your information, a utility bill and copy of id is one of the types of proofs of address that many businesses (including this one!) use as proof of address when opening an account. Now usually with "id", a photocopy of drivers license or passport or such is required, and I don't know about the US, but certainly in the UK, Europe and South Africa these documents contain a lot of personal information, usually including a picture, a depiction of your signature, your date of birth, address, and several other pieces of potentially sensitive information.Additionall...

+1 People shouldn't trivialise the issue. It doesn't reflect well on a company if they're casual about the submission and handling of what is sensitive information. If you think this is "just" some trivial issue then, I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. Having been a victim of identity fraud, I can assure you it's no laughing matter when someone else is opening accounts and buying stuff as if they're you.

300% in 20 days? Does not need a black swan event at all. Hard yes, very risky yes, prone to blow up, yes, but by no means a black swan requiring feat. It's "only" 7.5% per day, compounded -- Returns are not that predictable or consistent in reality of course, but the point is, 7.5% per day for 20 days, in aggregate, is not that inconceivable. To explore this a bit more: 7.5% in one day only requires for example catching, every day, a single trade capturing a...7.5% move at 1:1 (= no!!!) leverage (!)3.75% move at 2:1 leverage (pretty low leverage still)1.875% move at 4:1 lever...

Yeah, the problem is it's very hard to sustain. I've actually had a monstrous 2 months or so in a real money account swinging for the fences on oil -- made about 1,000% (actually more than that but I'm still exposed and slightly less up now than my high water mark currently). I know this sounds massive and in % terms it's insane, but the account started with only £250 and is now approx £2,500 so it's not exactly life changing. As others have said, it's also doubtful that one would be able to sustain this level of performance for another 2 months, let alon...

So what do *you* define as "the trend"? I ask because the term is tossed about so frequently, but in reality it's very subjective/relative to ones persepctive and thus, nearly meaningless or at least very liable to misunderstanding when given as advice to another, unless one also defines ones point of reference. (No offence intended! :) )

Sometimes it takes a while for the contest stats to catch up with what happens in your account. Wait a couple of hours and see if it refreshes.

Actually, it's quite possible to make 13,000 pips in 11 hours. It just depends what pairs you trade. Remember that some pairs (exotic crosses like xx/ZAR and so on) move extreme numbers of pips due to the currencies involved. But pips aint everything. With that amount of movement you have to take quite small positions to ensure you don't expose yourself to too much risk. (For illustration purposes, on my real account with Oanda, I made 5153 pips today alone, and my total for the month is 37668.90. The actual amount made is however quite small since a) the account itself is small s...

I had this problem with my own account -- if you simply re-add/update the account in myfxbook it starts updating again.

Dude why on earth are you buying yen? You do NOT want to go up against the new BOJ and their easing goals... Do nothing with the yen or sell it (against anything really, but the commodity currencies are leading the charge...)

Ugh man sorry I'm an idiot and must be blind. Mine has 5 digits too. :rolleyes: Lol. Anyway, I can log in no problem, some other suggestions:a) Make sure you have Java installed (seems obvious but...)b) Make sure your Java is totally up to date. Many browsers will not run the Trading platform if your Java is out of date or will warn in ways that aren't entirely obvious.c) Alternatively/Additionally, install the desktop shortcut. It still uses Java but avoids starting from the browser:http://fxtrade.oanda.co.uk/trade-forex/fxtrade/desktopI hope that helps.

Guys there's less than 4000 contestants, so your username should have 4 digits only. Mine does in any case. If yours has more I suspect some registration script's gone amok, you should just report it to their support desk and/or MyFXBook. I don't think there's any scheming involved. Make sure to click the "fxTrade Practice" tab on the login page: https://fxtrade.oanda.co.uk/demo-account/login
Seeing as myfxbook can't handle large Oanda histories...

speki, it doesn't work if you try to get a large quantity of history, trust me. Not via MyFXBook, not via Oanda's website direct. I've reported it to Oanda also and they've acknowledged it as a problem. (I'm trying to get 3 years worth of data. 2 years still works. Getting the 3 years in succession works. Hence my original suggestion/request.)Direct via browser you get:"504 Gateway Time-outnginx"... after about a minute of waiting. Presumably this is exactly what happens to MyFXBook when it tries to collect the data.

Hello, thanks for responding. I realise it's technically actually Oanda's problem. **However**:1) Note that you *can* actually download the history piecemeal style from Oanda *manually*. E.g. it's possible to specify discrete date ranges, e.g. say on a monthly basis, and that *does* work, even on accounts with large histories. Hence my original request.2) Consequently, it should also be possible to enhance MyFXBook's web scraping code to fetch smaller chunks of the history itself (thereby working around the issue), given that MyFXbook must already be parsing the Oanda FXTrad...
