I have had several requests lately that the indicators displaying the Bid price no longer match the price on the chart. I checked several platforms and it appears that the Bid and Ask prices on the Market watch are not the same as the prices on a chart?? I have since altered the indicators to now display the Close price not the Bid. Surely this will affect the take profit and stop loss levels on a chart? I tried a demo Sell trade and noticed that the Ask price on the chart had to be significantly below the on chart take profit level before the trade closed? Is it just me and I have not noticed this before or has this been like this for a while? I checked some early screenshots that had indicators with the Bid price coded into them and the chart Bid price matched the indicators so one has to ask when did this happen I guess more importantly why would it be like this?
