Please note: if an order is successful and a trade is executed, the exchange rate obtained for the trade will correspond to the most current exchange rate maintained at the OANDA fxTrade servers and not necessarily the rate you saw in the ‘BUY/SELL’ market order window. This is because the rate may change due to market conditions during the time it takes to process and confirm the order.
