Bid and Ask outside Bar?

New comment
 

Hi folks,

This problem is driving me crazy. It started today Sunday morning. Does anybody has same problem?

This is the printout, open0 is Open[0], open1 is Open[1], close0 is Close[0], and so on.

2010.11.01 - 18:15:00 - - - *******************New Bar************************************
2010.11.01 - 18:15:00 - - - open1=1.60354 close1=1.60409
2010.11.01 - 18:15:00 - - - high1=1.60445 low1=1.60353
2010.11.01 - 18:15:00 - - - open0=1.60407 close0=1.60407
2010.11.01 - 18:15:00 - - - high0=1.60407 low0=1.60407
2010.11.01 - 18:15:00 - - - bid=1.60407 ask=1.60445
2010.11.01 - 18:30:00 - - - *******************New Bar************************************
2010.11.01 - 18:30:00 - - - open1=1.60407 close1=1.60324
2010.11.01 - 18:30:00 - - - high1=1.60424 low1=1.60301
2010.11.01 - 18:30:00 - - - open0=1.60318 close0=1.60318
2010.11.01 - 18:30:00 - - - high0=1.60318 low0=1.60318
2010.11.01 - 18:30:00 - - - bid=1.60318 ask=1.60356
2010.11.01 - 18:45:00 - - - *******************New Bar************************************
2010.11.01 - 18:45:00 - - - open1=1.60318 close1=1.60412
2010.11.01 - 18:45:00 - - - high1=1.60415 low1=1.60260
2010.11.01 - 18:45:00 - - - open0=1.60413 close0=1.60413
2010.11.01 - 18:45:00 - - - high0=1.60413 low0=1.60413
2010.11.01 - 18:45:00 - - - bid=1.60413 ask=1.60451

Now this is the chart:

The bar with the vertical green line is 18:15 then the highest value for this bar is 1.60424, however from the printout Ask is 1.60445 at 18:15.

At the next bar 18:30, for previous values( 18:15), the High, Open, Close, Low are the same as the square in the picture.

Now, this is what I got when opening any position:

All the crosses are orders above the corresponding bar.

 

MT4 uses bid prices for generating the charts. highest ask of each candle will be high+spread.

//z

OK, how do I fix this. It started this morning and it appears not only in GBPUSD, but in all the rest and all timeframes. Could this be broker related? or a MT4 bug?

Never mind, I just reboot the computer and everything seems to be OK. Must be the "ghost in the machine" thing.

Thank you anyway

 

actually there is no fix for this. i assume you are referring to the strategy tester...

On weekends there is high spread, so you might "see" the spread better...
