I suppose it is an unregulated broker. Alternatively you can report this problem to the adhoc regulator.
Thank you for bring this important issue to our attention.
Edit:
By checking in a broker I use this tickvalue problem, I found this:
Here too, there is an error on Tickvalue. The good value must be 1.0, but it's obviously calculated based on Point and not Ticksize.
This an evidence that effectively even in a reputable and regulated broker, error can take place.
i had experienced like this too..
the broker chart is EURUSD-m account MIKRO
but the balance is in USD.. not USD Cent .. that cause the tick value is so small
WHRoeder,
if you check this screenshoot then your method should not work reliable on non-basecurrency pairs. On Left side is the "problematic-broker" and on right side is another broker. I personally think nothing can replace TickValue.
I realize this is an old post, but appears still open ended.
It seems in order to protect the EA from being run through any of these brokers, a simple filter should be used (at least I'm putting them on mine now) to the effect:
Shutting down the EA and/or not let it start for such brokers. I'll just add it to my Critical filter list.

But if it were a Cents, versus Dollars discrepancy, then the TICKVALUE would only have been 2 digits off. The Picture posted above by OP shows . 0001 TICKVALUE
So that is 4 digits off, rather than just 2. This means to me that it could not have been a Cents versus Dollars issue that was causing it. However that's not to say that different brokers do not have different unrelated issues, only that the OP's issue would not have been Cents versus Dollars issue. jmho
