You're doing it all backward... Here are the problems I see (in bold text): 1- You should have gone long at the bottom of the perceived range, and short at the top of that perceived range (the 9th and 12th candles on closes basis, blue area). Even ...

Really, a very sad news. Thank you Mark, for all the trading knowledge you have given us. Rest in peace.

Alex, Looks like you are totally correct and that my understanding of the problem was wrong. I compared a M15 candle with the aggregated M1 candles and can clearly see that MT4 is not converting the M1 data in a correct M15 candle. I ...

Come on Alex - You're NOT serious !!! There's gap / missing data in M30 - M15 and M5 / M1 too in _US30, it's NOT just a rendering problem in H1 charts ??? At least it's not what the screenshots I just took are saying... The problem exists for all ...

The one reason that trumps all other reasons why traders lose ? ► Refusing to lose money by not taking the loss when the trade is going wrong.

Back to normal in mini account too. All seem back to normal, with almost 1 hour of spreads at 18.0 pips. Now I'll wait the explanations from alpari.co.uk !

OK, looks to be resolved just now on classic account, mini account still impacted. Clearly the time needed to correct this problem was way too long.

Starting today at 08:00 US EST - The spread on EURUSD went to 18 pips and it's staying there, now for almost 20 minutes. WTF is going on, and all this just ahead of hitting 1.3500 ? Hope you'll have a good explanation, because, I'm really not happy ...

Ok, looks like it was a one time event then, that's reassuring. That's what I like with Alpari, they acknowledge the problems and are very responsive. Good job Thank you.

Same problem as Luds here with MT4 Classic account from 15:10 to 15:50 there was a difference of 14 pips approx with wild gyrations with a big difference at one time of 26+ pips. I have MT5 account too and prices were stable and correct all along ...
