Number of Trades Per Bar

View Count: 999

I made a EUR/USD chart with a time period of “Number of Trades Per Bar” equal to 1. I’m finding that 99% of the time each new bar’s price is either equal to the previous bar's price OR exactly 1 pip above or below the previous bar’s price.

Why is this happening?
I ask because I don’t think that in reality a trade’s closing price is exactly 1 pip away from the previous trades closing price this frequently.

(FYI: I’m using the forex data provided by FXCM in my SC demo account. Not sure if this data source has something to do with the issue.)

Thanks!
