Launch Oanda from your Desktop

Posted on 07. Apr, 2009 by Jakob in broker

If you are using Oanda, you are probably sometimes annoyed that you have to go to their website in order to log on. The goes for both their real trading platform, FXtrade, the paper money version, FXgame and their news service, FXnews. This has been a small, but often frustrating factor, special if you are trading Non-Farm Payroll on a Friday, where Oanda often seems to shut down, automatically. Going back to their website and launch the platform ones again takes time, which can be a real pain in the ass … if you are in the middle of a trade.

Luckily there is an easy way around this. Oanda has a great page called Oanda FXlabs, which is a site where they share new tool, and beta releases of new products. There is a lot of different cool tools, and one of them is FXdesktop. This is exactly what we are looking for. This is a small application, which you download, and store on your desktop (or where you find it most convenient). This will enable you to run the application directly from your desktop. A rather simple but really useful application. Furthermore, by using this application, you will avoid the small flash launching pop-up browser. If you are using Oanda, this is a must-have! Get it here.
