Just for the record, I will say that ItalianFX is right about the negative spread lasting more than a few seconds and it happens very frequently...just happened tonight again for 1-2 minutes.
I trade EUR/JPY exclusively so I can't comment on other pairs.
It gets really bad when EUR/JPY is dropping fast. I have noticed it happen in uptrends also, but never more than a minute.
When E/J does one of those 1-200 pip drops in 30 minutes, the negative spread will literally last almost the entire move and it doesn't correct until a significant retrace.
This is just my experience with it...I haven't tried dealing on the negative spreads so I can't comment on that.
Hope this helps,
Nathan
