MBT and doji

Have you ever seen a monster doji like this?


r.

Bad feed data. It's caused by a single bad price like .5100 getting inserted into the ticker.

If you had a trade effected by it then call them and sort it out. Most brokers will research the problem and fix it if you're right.

Really do not know. Looking to all exotic pairs on mbt, they often have this kind of monster doji or monster marabozu on the 0:00 candle.

What's there to know?

Is this just a bash against MBT then? Is this the real feed or just a demo? If you don't like them why are you using them?

If you had a trade affected by the problem then contact them and have them fix it. This thing happens on all MT4 brokers, and occasionally on non-MT4 brokers as well (altho more often on MT4 it seems). Bad data occasionally gets into the feed. It's easy to get it fixed.

I've forgotten to say that is a demo. Does it matter? I am evaluating it.

Demo feeds are typically secondary. This means the data is usually lagged a little, sometimes processed a little differently, sometimes it means the feeds aren't as closely monitored, sometimes it means there aren't as many sources in the feed, sometimes it's more prone to error.

In exotic pairs you're looking at a very different situation. In a pair like the cable, well, these situations should not occur. I looked at my charts for the time and don't see any spikes, so it can only be a broker error.

If you tell them about it they'll probably fix the errant price. As it's a demo there isn't anything else to be done, but it fixes the scroll problem.

Thanks for the clarification.

I just got this reply from MBT customer service:

"The spikes are interuptions to the information stream which occure when we do an upgrade or a test on the demo environment. We are in a Beta test and improve phase of our MT4 product. Once we are out of Beta those spikes will not occure."

Im using Neoticker for charing with the MB live data-feed, and such spikes do exist in the live data too (especially often during rollover and midnight maintainance). They are infrequent, but they are there.
