It would've gone unnoticed if you were looking at the chart and not the tick chart. As you can see the ask price jumped to 0.7460 while the bid price was at 0.7420 - a spread of a whopping 40 pips!

Is there an explanation for this or is this to be expected in FXCM / MT4?

Hi Artin,

For something like this, please check with client services to investigate if it is a bad tick. If it is a bad tick that got through on NDD feed, we will make an adjustment.

Jason
