Pairs not in sync?

Hi again all,
This folder has been a great help to me whenever I have a mt4 problem, so I'm hoping someone can help me out regarding this issue.
I decided to monitor eur/usd and I was shocked to see the daily candle close 10 minutes after all of my other pairs!! I then dropped down to the 1 minute charts and noticed nearly all of the pairs have different times/clocks.
As you can imagine, this delay can cause candles to form differently, and possibly ruining some of my setups and entries. Is this what I get for using a mt4 demo for my charting? I didn't expect the feed to be so far out of line, but 10 minute differences are wreaking havoc with my trading style.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a major problem in my mind.

Bump. Anyone?

Bodge,

I haven't experienced this issue myself and a quick check of my charts shows them to be in sync.

Is this a demo account? I imagine it's possible for a broker's demo feed to be out of sync or just plain wrong. If you're still seeing the problem, try downloading another broker's MetaTrader install and see if the problem continues.

Hi tesla thanks for the reply. Yes it's just a free demo from the main mt4 site. I may try that reinstall and see if it helps. I'll also check out some paid charting packages. Thanks again.

...but if you were watching a particularly non-volatile time period MT4 won't update a candle until there is a new tick. So let's say on the 1 minute chart there is no new info- MT4 will not print a "place holder" candle on the chart. Like I said I doubt this is your issue but a long time ago on a far away thread someone was having a problem similar to yours and this turned out to be the answer. That said, all mt4 demos are NOT created equal. I had ridiculous problems with data dropouts on many brokers demo platforms.

wow...that really sucks. From now on I will check from time to time. Thanks guys.

Gee thanks for the replies guys. Taters you could be onto something, I will keep an eye out for that. One question, how did you get around your issues? Did you end up paying for a reliable feed?

I got a real account!
That took care of my data-feed issues.
The candle issue I spoke of is really a non-issue ( and it's not a bug, it's a feature, as they say...); if volatility is so low that there are no ticks to form a new candle I'm not in the market anyway.
Cheers,
