OANDA Europe Introduce CFDs

Waiting for me in my inbox this morning was an email from OANDA informing me that:

The OANDA team is pleased to announce the launch of Contract for Difference (CFD) trading on the OANDA platform.

That was sufficient to persuade me to fire up fxTrade, which duly invited me to add some new symbols to my list. Having done so, this is what my quote window now looks like:

OANDA quotes, now with added indices and commodities

As you can see, the list of CFDs is currently quite short, consisting of the most popular indices plus oil, corn and wheat. I'll leave you to decide for yourself whether OANDA's (mostly!) fixed spreads might persuade you to put any of your CFD business their way.

Please note that these shiny new instruments are currently only available via fxTrade, and not via MetaTrader 4. They're not even available via fxTrade if your OANDA account is in the United States either!
