Genuine selling and buying prices??

[20neo]

Hi,

I observed that the trading software that I employ (from fxcm.com, I have heard that it is one of the best) demonstrate one value when I go to purchase for example Euro/USD and a different value (open value) is shown in the charts bar(1 minute bars). For instance I not at all saw in the buying menu a discrepancy among buy/sell prices less than 10 pips, yet when on the chart a 0 bar emerges (buying price = selling price ). OK, I do not meant that the software I employ isn't good, not at all; I use another one from fxsol.com, same result was shown. The cost you really purchase a currency is not equivalent to the cost shown on the bar chart. Who would like to invest in forex when the tools we employ are telling us unlike versions of the "truth".

I'm fascinated if anybody can clarify to me why this occurs? From where could I discover Charts with the genuine buying and selling prices?

Thanks

The price you see in the charting is probably either the bid price or the mid price (halfway between the bid and the offer). Most charts don't plot both the bid and offer as it would mean two lines.
