That is a good point, i wonder how common those spikes are up and down.

Since it was a cross and a rare currency it is much more susceptible to spikes, but more than one data source needs to verify these spikes. Prices are *purely* from the broker, but they do collaborate with the market. Since IBFX uses the same clearing bank as 2 other brokers, maybe there was enough bids on NZD or JPY to skew the prices.

I really want to look at the history data for the day from 5 different sources, 2 of them not even using MetaQuotes.
