Where is the liquidity?

I'm currently short on AUDCAD and I logged in to find that my position is supposedly down about 50 pips - which is surprising to me because the charts show that I should be in positive territory. I use MB Trading and the answer to this apparent drop lies in the bid/ask. Right now MB shows a bid for AUDCAD of 0.9140 and an ask of 0.9256. So I moved over to the Level II quotes and I see that there are a grand total of 10 lots at the bid and 11 lots at the ask.

I'm not tremendously worried about this because I assume that the bid/ask will tighten soon and my position will be fine, but how can any broker be showing such a ridiculous spread? I know that MB Trading charges rollover at 1700 EST, which tends to empty out a lot of orders from those who don't want to pay rollover, but this just seems beyond regular explanation.

Please note that this is not an MB-gripe. I'm generally quite happy with them and I know that they are an ECN provider so, in theory, they're just showing me whatever bids/asks are available in the market. Furthermore, the spreads that I usually see with them, while they do vary with the market conditions, are usually incredibly tight. But I just find it hard to believe that in a market like forex, which is always touted as having amazing liquidity, there can be such a gaping discrepancy in the spread at any time of the day.

I'm thinking that really is the spread for AUDCAD. I don't have that pair listed in Oanda, so I'm guessing that it's really not traded that often. If it were AUDNZD, I would be a little more concerned, as these are neighboring countries.

what order did you use, and what time was it executed

during rollover they pull the orders, spreads can get very wide, seems you just ran into this

right after n.y. close spreads get wide with mbtrading.

Im looking at 0.9204 - 0.9208 6:50pm EST

Yeah, I have a 6-pip spread now. Like I said, I wasn't worried about it - I knew from past experience that it would tighten, but it still amazes me that almost no one was trading the pair at that time. Yes, it's an off-pair, but I just figured that with all the supposed liquidity out there we wouldn't see a 100-pip spread for more than a half hour at 1700 EST.

Oh well, the ridiculous spread is gone now. I just thought it was strange.
