I was trading the GBP/USD today and the spread got up to 50 pips if you look at the 10second chart anyone else have this problem?

Yes, they said it was a manual error. I thought things were automated with Oanda though. I of course was stopped out when this happened but later Oanda corrected the trade and showed the GBP/USD sold where I have my take profit which is by default 45 pips above my entry price. So that was a profitable trade but if nothing was done I would have pulled most of my money out of Oanda which I really don't want to do because I have had a positive experiance with them.
