were you stopped out on this spike,it could just be a rogue spike,often happens,prices not affected

Cheers LF. no I wasn't in. Just interested if anyone was.

Its odd.

My charts are not from IT Finance. I have a new one introduced several months ago. It is probably IT Finance data glitch.

ChocolateDigestive uses IG, and from some of his past comments in Flash's Live Calls thread, it would seem IG is pretty dodgy.

Then again, it could just be a bad data point. Best to contact IG and see what's up.

That spike not on my charts either. I do not use advanced charts.

Almost certainly a dodgy tick recorded by IT-Finance. I doubt it was tradable at any time.

I saw this. Not just on the charts but on the platform as well. Anyone with a short on that at the time no doubt got shafted.

PS Sorry for dragging up an old thread but it might be useful for anyone who hasn't seen the tricks of the SB companies before.

If anyone thinks a 2,600 point spike in EURUSD is anything but bad data on the chart they may want to do a bit more research
