MT4 Bid/Ask incorrect in chart?

I'm hoping I haven't made some embarrassing mistake ... but has anyone noticed this?

The Bid/Ask in the chart is different from the Bid/Ask in the Market Watch (which BTW is the Bid/Ask values that also get read programmatically) This only seems to be for EURUSD (1st attached image) and it's off by 2 points.

GBPUSD, AUDUSD, USDJPY Bid/Ask seem to correspond.

I'm with Oanda/MT4 Build 610.

Anyone have any idea what is happening?

1. I notice this in all my pairs.

2. I don't have an answer for the discrepancy, but.....

3. .... (in your case and also in mine) it's only around 2 PIPETTES, not 2 points or 2 pips. If it really WAS 2 points (which is bigger than 2 pipettes), I'd be worried.

4. Does this TINY discrepancy make any difference to your performance? If it doesn't, you should move on and chalk this one up to some unimportant software or network issue that you should not concern yourself too much about.

yes you are right, that should be 2 fractional pips ...
just a bit wierded out by it - thought it might be a build 600+ thing.
I don't think I saw it on build 5xx before, but maybe I was staring too much at code

It was definitively in the 509- since more than a year ago. I found some old indicator showing the real ask/bid, but unfortunately I cannot find source.

Ignored

A bid tick is an indication of whether the latest bid price is higher, lower or the same as the previous bid. Bid ticks track movements of bid prices in an open market for all placed bid offers, giving real-time information to traders and market participants about the direction of bid prices over any given time period.
