If they decide to edit and remove the spike in the later times that would be an admission that the price feed was erroneous, I'm yet to hear back, this is pretty disappointing from a broker this size considering it's very obvious there was a problem ...

Is the second spike the one you meant? Looks very suspicious EDIT: didn't happen with my other broker robgsxr: the first spike is still there

didn't see this one, cfd are ok, just need a proper broker I guess, other brokers don't seem to have that problem
