Hi

for those of you who hold spot forex trades overnight, eg. EOD traders, how often does your broker have price spikes/gaps in the wee small hours, that some may immediately suspect as stop running by the broker in question?


If this is a fairly frequent occurence, that may affect your trading results, do you always request tick data from the broker/brokers data suppliers that they base their quotes on, to gain PROOF, that the real underlying market gapped up or down at that moment in time, and that their (your brokers) spike/gap was not a stop-running exercise on their behalf?

Many thanks.
