When trading would it be logical to expect that the prices shown on one TF chart would be the same on another HTF/LTF chart or even in the ORDER window???
For example. Here are 2 charts and an order window for GER30 (DAX Index CFD). From left to right, ORDER Window, OFFLINE CHART and Standard 1minute chart, you will notice that the BID/ASK prices are identical across the board. Just to avoid confusion, BID price is WHITE line, ASK line is RED, in the tick chart on the left of the ORDER Window BID is BLUE, ASK is RED and the large numbers in the centre of the ORDER Window are BID and ASK respectively.
Now here is where the logic goes out of the window
Here is a GBPUSD (Forex Currency) chart, again left to right is ORDER Window, OFFLINE chart and 1 minute Chart
I would like to draw your attention to the differences in the BID/ASK prices. You will see that the BID price on the STD 1m chart (Far Right) does not match the ORDER Window or the OFFLINE chart. The ASK price on both OFFLINE and Std 1m Charts do match each other but do not match the ORDER window.
Another example. EURUSD (Forex Currency) same left to right layout.
You will see that the BID price on the STD 1m chart (Far Right) does not match the ORDER Window or the OFFLINE chart. The ASK price on both OFFLINE and Std 1m Charts do match each other but do not match the ORDER window.
QUESTION.
Am I wrong in expecting the prices quoted to be identical across the board, regardless of which class of instrument, and if so Why?
I placed this question on the Metaquotes Forum a few days ago but NO ONE not even any one from Metaquotes has had the decency to respond.
