How is it possible for my robot to trade here?

New comment
 

Last week I started testing my robot, I use MT5, Metaquotes broker demo, average ping about 7ms. However, today during the day I noticed two such trade entries. I wonder how he was able to trade in places where there are no charts.

I use VPS exclusively for trading, so there were no work interruptions and the like.

without more information, we can only suggest that you had already -- migrated the ea and charts to the vps. Assuming that you are talking about the mql5 vps?

Sometimes the spread can widen drastically due to low liquidity or high volatility,

There is a Ask price and a Bid price, but Charts only shows the bars/candles based on Bid prices.

  • A "buy" position opens at the Ask price and closes at the Bid price.
  • A "sell" position opens at the Bid price and closes at the Ask price.
Enable the Ask price line on your chart so that you can track the current value visually.

I also thought something similar, although it seems strange to me that there is such a big difference. I don't know if it is possible to see the movement of ask price in the past. The same situation happened again. This time it was a Buy order

Yes, you can read the tick data for the event. On your terminal, you can view the historical tick data in the Symbols (Ctrl-U) dialogue box.

No, I'm using CloudZY VPS, but I don't think it should come to that because I got recommendations from multiple sources for that VPS. I have an average ping of about 7ms, extremely fast machine, windows server.
 
Thanks, definitely have to check it out.

The ask price did not even exist at that moment. How is that possible? Virtually all Buy Stop orders would be executed wherever they are?

I checked with the IC Markets broker and the situation is the same. There is no value for Ask Price

I think it only shows a value when it changes, therefore read the last value if blank

Clearly, but I still don't understand how that Sell order was executed. It was executed at a price of 2628.63, and such a value does not exist in the table in that time interval.
