"At OANDA, we take pride in helping our clients become successful self-directed traders, whether through enhancements to our institutional-grade trading platform, cutting-edge trading tools, advanced charting solutions or award-winning educational material. Over the course of our 23-year history, we've worked hard to meet the needs of our clients, who have increasingly expressed an interest in tighter spreads on indices.
