Actual OPEN - Previous CLOSE

 

Can anyone explain why OPEN is not identical to previous CLOSE on MATATRADER charts? On OANDA charts it is.

What is the meaning of difference from OPEN and previous CLOSE ?

thx Aristide

 

On which timeframe? Over the weekend or during the week?

 

Intraday on any timeframe.

 

It's normal that there is a difference of 2 pips or so. Because in MetaTrader you get a new candle when the new tick happens. And it's likely that this tick will not be at the same price like the last one. So there will be a difference between the last tick of the old candle and the first tick of the new one.

 

Thanks Eric
