Strange candlestick appeared?

Hi guys... I am wondering if someone could help me as this one confused the hell out of me... On the EUR/USD from yesterday, you can see i've circled the candlestick which seems to be in the wrong place... Shouldn't this candlestick have a long red body judging from its previous candlestick?

What happened here? Did the market jump?

My chart shows it as an almost solid red candle with an open of 1.3692 and a close of 1.3659 on the 15M chart (broker is FXDD). Probably there is some data feed problem related to your broker.

Because every broker's data feed is different, Not every candle will look the same as someone else's. If you feel that candlestick is a date error and/or you lost money on that candle, contact your broker and dispute the error.

In an case, candlestick formation is called an Inverted Hammer.

Looks like an FXCM chart. Same odd formation occurred on E/J yesterday.

Long red candle here too. MT4 chart.

my chart too shows a solid red candle

aha... sounds defo like a glitch from FXCM... just checking to see this isn't a normal thing

thanks

Happens a lot more with FXCM than other brokers. I have seen plenty of hour long gaps in the previous days historical data, but I think that is the first I have seen on same day activity. But it data, not software.

As people have mentioned before it IS a data feed issue.

Don't overlook this as a small thing though,

although the market can move down fast er than the data feed can handle (known as a gap down/up) and this can happen often, it is not always so innocent.

There are many tricks played by brokers, some of them fairly sinister.

A trader I know records all of his trading sessions, and has noticed some unusual activity with one of them.

Next time you enter a position, try and have another platform open on a sperate data feed.

If you happen to get spiked out, like a sudden price action the wrong way which stops you - have a look at what the other platform did.
