"@dmedin &amp; @nit2wynit,  fake spikes do unfortunately turn up on demo platforms occasionally, obviously not fraudulent as no money is involved, spreads for professional clients are the same if not worse than for retail because of larger size of deals, are you sure it's not the market that's laggy rather than the platform, it's certainly not on liquid markets or 10s of thousands would be complaining rather than just 1, a spinning cog is usually either a connection problem or there just is no market at that time, tablets and mobiles are prone to connection drop outs that cause gaps in the charts and distorted candles until a restart fills in the back data, and what is 'refresh' the chart, I've never needed to do that or even know how?  \n "
