Forex Chart CandleStick Discrepancies

[4dplane]

Hi,

I have the same EUR/USD chart on two different machines that display the chart differently. One chart always has two Mondays, one small bar for the opening on Sunday and then another for all of Monday(I think...). The other EUR/USD chart does not have this double day, it simply has Monday to Friday. On the machine that that has the double Monday, I went to sessions inside of the chart properties and changed it to Default 24/5 and the double Monday is removed and the two charts are now the same. The problem still persisted on this same machine when I ran a strategy on EUR/USD. So I went into Tools -> Instrument Manager -> EUR/USD (Edit) -> Session Templet = Default 24/5 and now the double Monday is removed from the strategy and now both machines with the same EUR/USD cart and strategy have the same results!!!

Ok, so why are the two machines deferent? One EUR/USD sessions template is set "Forex" and the other to "Default 24/5". What is it supposed to be? I'm using two machines and I'd like them to be the same out of the box, to minimize discrepancies.

Attached are two screen shots; one with a double Monday and one without.


Thanks,
4D

Ok, thanks for the info Drew,

incase someone else has a similar issue, Drew noted the problem was FXCM sometimes has a "bad bar on Saturdays which results in an extra bar with the same timestamp as the Monday bar". The solution is to change in "Connection Options" the historical data provider from FXCM to NT.
