Today, i've been trying to use free bonus from a BS brokers (in the pic it's the middle one). I've compared the price feed with some demo account and this is what happen.

the price was held by the broker for at least 5 minute long, the price is standing still, then after that the price is just following the real one rapidly.

Today i've seen it 3 times, and its always happen when there is a price jump. This is the first time i found things like this directly... and quite shocking too.

It's just a small and unregulated broker. Their website seems legit tough.

that's not at all what i asked. everything you have said so far suggests that your MT4 connection has dropped at that time, hence no data feed, and hence no ability to open a trade.

bottom right corner. green and red bars. if there are no green bars and it's all red then you are not connected.

Oh sorry. Yes, it's still connected. The data feed is still coming, wiggling about that price. it just won't follow the real one.
