Large price differences at 13 March on MT4 AlpariUK
Hello,
I observed large price differences between Alpari UK and Dukascopy at 13 March (please see attached image...) It seems that Alpari had a wrong price row around one hour long till to the final gap correction. Maybe someone can confirm this event. Thanks.
I have been cross checking historical data from brokers that use the Metaquotes feed (alpari,Fair trade tech,think forex) seems like they use an average/smooted price in the candlestick and not the actual price taken on the 60th second for example in an M1 bar.
I imported and compared the Dukascopy data vs the Metaquotes feed and the comparison is in some cases on the back test results is 10-1, so any back testing done with the metaquotes data is fantasy and a waste of time.
I hope one day that this manipulation of historical data will be made illegal and brokers using this Metaquotes feed will be prosecuted, as it is one of the best scams I have ever seen!
