stop using mq demo. search the site and you will find that it is unreliable. Its main purpose is to be used by mq devs during dev of new updates and testing of mt5 program.
do not use it for trading or market analysis.
Hello,
On the MetaQuotes-Demo server, XAUUSD shows a repeated stale price on the first H1 bar after the daily break (01:00 server time):
- 2026.11.04 01:00 - real low 3914.40
- 2026.11.05 01:00 - low printed as 3914.40 again (price was far above, around 4100)
- 2026.11.06 01:00 - low printed as 3914.40 again
The same kind of false wick appears on Monday opens, e.g. 2026.07.27 01:00 (L 4009.11 while O/C ~4088) and 2026.08.17 01:00 (L 4276.43 while O/C ~4376).
Other price sources (e.g. OANDA) show no such wicks. It looks like the first quote after the break is a stale price from a previous session.
This affects Expert Advisors that use the session range (breakout strategies), because the range is inflated by a price that never traded.
Could MetaQuotes please check the demo feed for XAUUSD at the daily reopen?
Thank you.
