Please checkout the docs, there is a section on each asset class.
Yes, there is a parameter you must specify when you want OANDA (FXCM is default):
// In Initialize AddForex("EURUSD", Resolution.Minute); // or AddForex("EURUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.FXCM); // For OANDA, we need to explictly define the market AddForex("EURUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.Oanda);

Brilliant. Thanks. I had been looking at AddSecurity and couldn't see the parameter. It makes sense to use AddForex instead :)

You can also use AddSecurity:
// In Initialize AddSecurity(SecurityType.Forex, "EURUSD", Resolution.Minute); // or AddSecurity(SecurityType.Forex, "EURUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.FXCM); // For OANDA, we need to explictly define the market AddSecurity(SecurityType.Forex, "EURUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.Oanda);
It is about 20 characters longer... ;-)
