Bad news, but is not clear. Only v1 account will be closed or api v2 too?

Why Multicharts no and Mt4 yes?

Dear all, please see below the answer from Oanda:

-------------------

Hi,

Thanks for your email.

We do not have an official partnership with Zorro trade so this is the first time I heard of anyone using their application to trade with us.

I am curious, are your providing your personal access token to the Zorro so that it can access your account?

According to new European regulations (as interpreted by our European compliance department), clients who are registered with OANDA Europe is forbidden from trading through a non-OANDA platform unless the third party is FCA (https://www.fca.org.uk/) regulated.

Thanks

-------------------
Dear all
I have Oanda account and just wanted to clarify, if I can continue to use V20 REST API if I am EU Oanda client (domicil UK). I just want to use 3rd party App Zorro Trade to to execute trades on my Oanda account via V20 REST API.
I am asking, since there is currently some confusion because users are not sure if the API trade execution restriction (see below) are valid also vor V20 REST API:

“On 16 December 2017 Oanda is required to restrict API trade execution from 3rd party platforms for European clients (Motivewave, TradingView, Seer, MultiCharts, etc.). You may still use a 3rd party platform for trading analysis, however, you will no longer be able to execute trades on 3rd party platforms that execute trades via an API.
Your OANDA account enables you to execute trades through OANDA proprietary platforms or MT4. This change is required to enable OANDA to meet the anticipated regulatory requirements at the beginning of 2018, and consequently for you to be able to continue to trade with OANDA.”
Thank you for clarification

oP group is affiliate of Oanda since 2016. We have been informed by Oanda Europe that nothing will change with the V20 API trading on the current accounts. Only trading functions of the V1 API will be discontinued effective January 19, 2018. But platforms such as Tradingview have been required to discontinue their API trading altogether.

Obviously the statements make not really sense and contradict each other. I'll try to get some clarification. If the V20 API really goes belly up in 2 days, you must switch to the MT4 bridge.

Dear XXXX XXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting OANDA.

That is correct, clients in Europe would no longer be able to execute trades with third party software that runs on API.
Our client experience team is here to help 24 hours a day from Sunday at 1 p.m. EST to Friday at 6 p.m. EST. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi all. To further clarify and prevent confusion, what exactly is the definition of "clients in Europe"?

Clients residing in an EU country? Some other list of "Europe" countries?

Or does this apply to all clients of Oanda's (& other brokers') European subsidiaries regardless of where in the world they reside?

Thanks.

Not an official statement, but a logical assumption - the country you pay taxes in is probably the one that applies to you.
European Union countries are:
Austria Italy
Belgium Latvia
Bulgaria Lithuania
Croatia Luxembourg
Cyprus Malta
Czech Republic Netherlands
Denmark Poland
Estonia Portugal
Finland Romania
France Slovakia
Germany Slovenia
Greece Spain
Hungary Sweden
Ireland United Kingdom

Dear xxx xxxx,

Thank you for contacting OANDA.

Yes, you are correct. On V20 this feature will be disabled.

Oanda: "Wenn Kunden bereits schon die v20 API nutzen, aendert sich fuer diese Kunden nichts, es sei denn die Kunden nutzen Plattform wie Tradingview, MultiCharts, Motivewaves etc., da diese fuer die API eingestellt werden muessen. Es wird nur die V1 / Legacy API eingestellt, und Kunden, welche diese zur Zeit nutzen, werden dann am 19. Januar auf v20 umgestellt."

Translation: "If customers already use the v20 API, nothing changes for these customers, unless the customers use platform such as Tradingview, MultiCharts, Motivewaves, etc., since these are required to discontinue their API. The V1 / Legacy API will only be discontinued, and customers currently using it will be upgraded to v20 on January 19th."

Different Oanda representatives have different opinions about what that means. We are of the opinion that the MiFID 2 definition of regulated platforms is already fulfilled by the V20 API, and that Zorro is not required to terminate Oanda V20 API support. Of course Oanda can terminate it on their end. But it didn't happen so far.
