unfortunately FX charts are dependant upon the feeds that they use. We use three brokers as the price feeds for our pricing engine the chances are that any charting package that you buy will use far more feeds than this and will include many inputing banks where the prices can be late or out by a little.
because FX does not take place on a live exchange you can quite easily get one platform quoting (in GBP/USD) 1.8049-1.8053 and another will be quoting 1.8055-1.8058 and no deal gets done but both prices are put into a chart which might use both price providers.
Whereas on an exchange the bid and offer would cross (assuming they were the only quotes) and business would occur.
As we are not likely to reveal the quoting suppliers that we use (!!) the chances are that you will never have a chart that exactly matches our quotes.
