In the first days on January i have reported a bad MtGox data streaming problem
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=406471.msg4445288#msg4445288

as explained, this bug is potentially scammy for traders, because Real Time Transaction fees has to be Real Time. Gox can hugely profit by it.
What i asked myself is: why noone cared about that topic?
I wrote to gox, and after more than 1 month i've received any answer about it.


There's another point: as you can see in the image below , my platform shows an incredible price spike on the right side , happend between h13 and h14 of 2014-02-14 (Rome GMT).

The Platform records real time data transactions, then makes candle. This means that someone on MtGox has bought Bitcoins at a really high price, just below 1000$. All happend in 5 minutes, as shown on this 5-minute chart

Those spikes are not visible on softwares that doesn't keep trace of transactions.
