I need someone to explan why the price in my order bar is not the same as the price I set, and the moving indicator or candle on the platform when it stops out are not the same
I set my take profit at a given price and when the moving indicator ingages the take profit it dose not close my order at the price I set it at
It always gose past it by several points . and the indicator is not to the given stop loss that I set it at, the price when it stops out is always over my stop loss indicator but on the plateform it show that the indicator or candle is not even closes to my stop loss
This Monday when market open again, why don't you compare the Ask-Bid price on the chart with Market Watch window (Ctrl + M, much more easy if your Market Watch is widely opened on the right side of MT), see if there any difference. If you don't mind and like to show us, you can screenshot your MT ( just click file > Save as picture ... > save as workspace).
I have account with IF, they have this account which spread is zero, but commission is spread - if you calculate it, it's the same thing actually. So the Ask price is equal with the Bid price, and that shown in Market Watch, however, they unable to show that on chart, so IF chart still showing Bid Ask as far as 3 pips on EURUSD chart. That really annoying, because the Bid on the chart is 2 pips lower than Bid on Market Watch. So it's not WYSIWYG thing when opening a position.
And if anyone ask why I have IF account, it's because they always get the latest MT update on time before any broker, so I can check new MT immediately.
:D
I dont think you need to wait for your broker to get the latest update on their site, mt4 live update should check for the latest update via the metaquotes site each time you restart the terminal.

I have FXCM UK, however I'm afraid I may miss-understood your problem.
Pardon me for asking this, you do understand that : We always sell at Bid price and close that sell at Ask price. And we always buy at Ask price and Close that buy at Bid price ?
Why don't you press F8, > select common tab > and select "Show Ask line", and trade again.
