OANDA is on the list because it has been a retail FX name for a long time and still offers its own web desk as well as MetaTrader on some entities. History is not a fill.
Pricing is usually a retail spread story unless you specifically open a raw-style path where offered. Licence coverage is country-by-country — US, UK, Australia, and others are different companies. Use the platform you will actually click; do not assume the web ticket matches MT4 margin.
Snapshot (confirm live)
Typical cost: retail + some raw-style. Min. deposit: often no hard minimum*. Regulation: multiple national licences — check yours. Platforms: own web / MT4. Withdrawals: bank-led on many entities; times sit in the help pages.
What we can actually check
- Which national entity is on the application.
- Whether you will use the web desk or MetaTrader — margin can differ.
- Whether a raw-style path exists on your entity.
- Bank withdrawal rules and name-match.
Who this note is for
People who want an established FX desk and its own platform. Compare Admirals for an EU-style MetaTrader research desk, or IC Markets for raw-style cost.
What we skip
Longevity as a ranking of fills. Old brands still have entity splits.

This note sits in the ten-desk research index so each broker has a URL Google can crawl on its own. Use that index to pick a second name, then compare on the same account type.
