It is truly astounding that they have not addressed this issue yet. I am genuinely reconsidering my usage of this platform (even though I just bought an extra year of support). I just can't think of any excuse, other than that they don't care.
6.9.2 Update Loop
- Thread starter nooris
- Start date
i made the mistake of installing 6.9.3 and I don't have the 6.9.2 anymore. hindsight should have made a backup. now Im stuck with 6.9.3 and no oanda until this gets fixed. I sent a message to tech support, but just got an auto-respond email.
Received a reply from Motivewave:
"Oanda has informed us that they will no longer support MotiveWave as of last week." Apparently Oanda dropped MotiveWave on April 19th.
Here is a copy link of 6.9.2:
I'm starting to look for other FX brokers to move to.

That’s not how it works. V20 from oanda is offered.

Nothing has changed, other then this update having a bug that doesn’t have the connection.

You may be correct, but here is the copy of the e-mail response received from MotiveWave when I asked them about the OandaV20 drop...
*************************************
Oanda has informed us that they will no longer support MotiveWave as of last week. Did you receive a notification from them? Here is what other users have reported receiving from them:
Even though it may be still running, we do not know how much longer so we have discontinued support for it.
You could try reverting to our previous version and see if it still works.

No, they haven’t replied yet.
That is a strange reply. Now I wonder if oanda is going to scrap the v20 protocol totally. Multicharts uses it as well as other clients. The v20 documentation gives example code and is accessible via python, java ect. The whole point of providing an API is to allow programmable access to the brokerage. It’s something that a brokerage would want.

Perhaps all Oanda wants everyone to use is TradingView, MT4, or Oanda's own proprietary platforms. I certainly don't know why Oanda would drop the v20, but perhaps there's another API they're going to release. I'm in e-mail talks with Oanda now and at first the people at frontdesk@oanda.com seemed unaware as to what is going on. If I hear anything, I'll let you know.
I just got in a too bad, so sad argument chat with one of their representatives. They're only supporting MT4, TradingView or Multicharts. Okay then, time to close my account and move to another broker, I'm looking at IB, Forex.com, or maybe even someone else but I'll have to see what's out there, works with MW and accepts US citizens. I hate when I have to do this. It feels like that FXCM fiasco back in Feb 2019.
She didn't say that and even alluded that the API was still in effect. I was told that because of "regulations", MotiveWave is no longer being offered. I don't know what regulations she's referring to, but I was informed that they couldn't give me the reason. I'm sick and tired of the cloak and dagger responses from some of these companies. I instructed them to shut my account down. Perhaps I'll just forget about FX and stick with futures.
Unsolicited advice. FX futures are better than spot FX. The brokers are better, and the centralized exchange is a whole lot better than a bucket shop. Full order book, full order flow data, no broker spread, no overnight swap, etc...

Totally agree with @nooris. There are no huge spreads or overnight swap fees for forex futures. Additionally, some forex brokers b-book the majority of traders, which is an awful and unprofessional practice. At least, when you trade forex futures, you can be sure that you are not getting b-booked by your broker, since all your orders are directly sent to CME.
