OANDA scam

My trading account was stable, and I did not violate any stated rules. However, OANDA terminated my account under Clause 7.2, which grants the company sole discretion to determine whether any transaction, practice, strategy, or situation constitutes “Prohibited Trading Conduct.”

This clause is highly unreasonable, as it allows accounts to be banned arbitrarily without transparent justification. I strongly recommend avoiding this platform and choosing more reputable brokers instead.

Hi Huy Minh,

We understand your frustration regarding the termination of your account.

At OANDA Prop Trader, we aim to provide a transparent and secure environment for all traders. Clause 7.2 exists to protect the integrity of our program and the community.

These standards help us identify practices such as arbitrage, latency exploitation, or coordinated group trading that undermine the sustainability of the Signal Provider model. Any decision to terminate an account follows a rigorous and comprehensive review of trading patterns and history.

We assure you that we do not terminate accounts arbitrarily or based on profitability. If you have further queries or wish to discuss the specifics of your case, please reach out to our team at support-proptrader@oanda.com from your registered email address.

Thanks,

Scam

I am very disappointed with my experience with Onada. My funded account was suddenly banned right before the payout date, and the team provided no clear explanation of which specific trade violated their rules. When I requested clarification, they only sent generic statements without identifying which order, what rule, or which clause in their Terms & Conditions I had supposedly breached.
If there is a rule about “risk” or certain trading behaviors, it should be clearly shown and transparently communicated. Instead, Onada took action at the worst possible moment, offering no proper evidence or breakdown of the alleged violation. This raises serious concerns about fairness and the reliability of their evaluation process.
Traders deserve transparency, especially when real payouts are involved. Without clear rule enforcement and proper justification, it is hard to trust the credibility of this firm.

My account was terminated following by…

My account was terminated following by a ban from their program without any clear evidence and explanation like other prop firms. I did not violated any rules and I have maintained the same trading strategy. Their email response and the payout processing time is super slow during the last 2 months. It seems that they are struggling with their cash flow model when they easier the profit targets, offering huge discounts but constantly delaying payouts. It look very similar to what had happened with MFF and TFT before the revealing they are scamming customers! Be aware of this firm when making your purchases because they don't seem to respect the long history of OANDA's brand in forex industry.

Hi Dung Nguyen,

We understand your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to address them directly.

Regarding account terminations and bans, these decisions are never taken lightly. They follow a rigorous and comprehensive review of trading history to identify practices that conflict with our established risk management policies. While specific security data cannot always be shared to protect our internal risk models, every review is conducted with fairness and integrity.

We acknowledge that response and payout processing has been slower recently due to a high volume of requests and the thoroughness required for our compliance reviews. We are working diligently to clear this backlog and improve our turnaround times.

If you have questions about your specific case, please email us at support-proptrader@oanda.com from your registered email. We remain committed to transparency and to upholding the standards our traders expect from the OANDA brand.

Thanks,

🚩 WARNING: Another Policy U-Turn Limits OANDA Prop Trader Services in Vietnam 🇻🇳 ​Review Title: Unreasonable Termination and Inconsistent Policy - Profitable Vietnamese Traders Targeted (Again!)

This is the second time OANDA has demonstrated a clear inconsistency and lack of commitment to its traders in Vietnam, and this time, the policy change seems designed to eliminate profitable traders under vague pretexts.
​The Problem: Policy Changes Lead to Arbitrary Termination
​I was recently terminated from the OANDA Prop Trader Challenge, and the reason provided was a vague statement about my "trading strategy and execution patterns" not being "aligned with criteria essential for participation," of the Terms and Conditions.
​The reality is that this termination follows a recent, unannounced shift in operational standards—standards that only seem to surface once a trader has proven successful.
​Vague Termination Clause: The firm hides behind a "confidential" internal risk assessment model, making their decision final and non-appealable. This is a red flag. It creates an environment where they can arbitrarily terminate any account they deem too profitable, simply by invoking a secret, proprietary rule.
​Targeting Profitability: It is highly suspicious that my termination came after consistently achieving positive returns, right when the firm has been introducing new, restrictive rules (like the Daily Maximum Profit Limit/Consistency Rule changes mentioned in other communications). This feels like a strategic suspension of services to traders in Vietnam who demonstrate high-level skill, making it impossible to transition to a funded account.
​The Second Limitation: This is not the first time OANDA has limited its services to traders in Vietnam. This pattern of on-again, off-again service and sudden policy shifts demonstrates a profound instability and disrespect for the trading community here.
​The "Refund" is Not Enough
​While they offer a "full refund" of the Challenge Fee, this does not compensate for the time, effort, and successful trading history that was instantly invalidated. The goal of a prop firm challenge is to get funded, not to get a fee refund after being profitable. This termination acts as a huge roadblock to legitimate traders who pass the evaluation only to be blocked from the Signal Provider (funded) stage.
​Final Verdict
​Traders in Vietnam should be extremely cautious. OANDA's practice of changing "essential criteria" without clear warning, and using non-specific risk assessment to terminate profitable accounts, suggests a fundamental flaw in their commitment to their local user base. If you are a profitable Vietnamese trader, you risk having your hard-earned progress wiped out under the guise of an "operational update" and being permanently banned.
​Rating: ⭐ 1/5 Stars - Unstable, inconsistent, and seemingly targets successful traders

A little trader

I have been trading with OANDA Prop Trader for several months. However, recently the operation has been very slow. I passed the two-step challenge and was informed that verification would take 1–3 business days. It has now been about a week and there has been no activation or visible progress.

I am writing this honest review as feedback in the hope that the company will address this delay and improve the speed of its processes, which would also help enhance the overall credibility of the program.

SAVE MORE MONEY AND GO WITH A HIGHER-REPUTATION PROP 🚫

Before buying the challenge, I checked the 1-star reviews and honestly hoped I would never end up in the same situation — especially with the strict risk-management program I use. But one bad day was enough to put me in this terrible experience.

My account (#55360) was closed instantly for “max daily loss,” yet the numbers don’t add up at all. They claimed my equity hit $4,862.74, while my dashboard clearly shows the lowest equity was around $4,925.30 — nowhere near their reported value. Even the loss shown for that day doesn’t support their claim.

I contacted them immediately with proof, but they haven’t sent a single reply, not even a confirmation that they’re reviewing the case. It took them seconds to close my account, but days later they still can’t respond.

Extremely unprofessional and unreliable. I really regret trusting this prop firm.

Hi there,

We understand your frustration regarding the closure of your account.

The Daily Loss Limit (5%) is fixed at the start of each trading day based on your previous day’s end-of-day equity and remains constant throughout the day. It is important to note that this limit monitors real-time equity, including floating losses. This means a breach can be triggered by intraday price action, even if the dashboard snapshots or final closed balance suggest otherwise.

You can reach out to us directly via support-proptrader@oanda.com.

My Experience with OANDA Prop Firm

Trading with OANDA Prop Firm has been a great opportunity to earn real profits without any time pressure. You can trade at your own pace, and their support team provides instant responses. Payouts are transferred quickly to the OGM landing account after profit-sharing approval. I also like their system that allows internal transfers from your payout directly to your OANDA live trading account. Plus, I even received my funded challenge fee back after the first payout.

Review with love

Account 49138
positive: the platform MT5 work well. I really did withdraw profit and the challenge fee.
Negative:
Here is your translation to English:
The regulations for live accounts are very complicated and unclear. My account was accused of making dangerous all-in trades and was deleted, even though I was actually profitable and did not violate the rules on daily maximum loss or total loss. They want us to place only one order position at a time, with clear take-profit and stop-loss, but they never stated this clearly. And there was no warning at all. I lost my account in a very unfortunate way.
In short, Oanda is a reputable company, but it seems they set many rules that cause you to lose challenge fees, report violations, and delete accounts without giving any warnings.

Warning scammers

Warning scammers. I have now been sent a thank you letter to the account border for 1 reason of serious violation of regulations but while I myself am not innocent of the violation, and also have not provided any evidence that we violate. I trade very seriously and fully follow the rules of OANDA however OANDA banned me very unreasonably, and now many other Transactions have been banned permanently. I want to warn everyone here who is scamming
