Has anyone noticed how sometimes the spreads quoted by Oanda jump up to a high value? For instance, right at this moment, instead of the usual 1.5 pips on the Euro, they are quoting 10 pips, together with similarly high values for other pairs. I've seen this happen before and after a while they fall back to their value. I understand that volatility can be widened with by spreads, however, that sounds strange.

I enjoy Oanda, but I would be Concerned about opening a live account. I might be left if the disperse suddenlt widens at a crucial moment.
