it happens during market open time i can explain by image pleasee see the attached image, at open of new candle close is not same as open so trade is opened at wrong possition.just curious to know if this behaviour is as expected or the brooker is manipulating…

Yes, at the opening O/H/L/C are equal and every new bar is opening like this. But O/H/L/C stay like this only for a fraction of the second. Then if starts to move and they are no longer equal. Most of the time you can’t see. It is not a manipulation.
