Is MetaQuotes-Demo Showing Artificial XAUUSD Prices? Extremely Long Candle Wick at Session Open

 

I have a question regarding the opening price of the Gold (XAUUSD) trading session on MetaQuotes-Demo.

Other brokers do not have such extremely long candle wicks as shown in the screenshot. I have carefully checked many different brokers, and MetaQuotes seems to be the only one showing such abnormal/“artificial” prices.

I have not opened a live account yet; I am only testing on a demo account. If anyone has a MetaQuotes live account, could you please check whether the price action is the same as on the demo account?

Thank you.

MetaQuotes live/real account does not exist. Because MetaQotes is not a broker, and this MetaQuotes-Demo account is mostly used for update Metatrader to the next build and to test beta builds of MT5. And the trading accounts (demo and live/real) of the brokers should be used for trading.

Very useful information, thank you. I wasn't aware of this.
