Please check the backtesting settings for the value used for the spread. Also note that the chart candles are drawn using the bid price.

Dear Trader,

As far as book A/B switch is concerned, it is irrelevant in cTrader if execution is price A or B because execution prices are based on market prices in any case. In fact, on book B trades get executed faster.
Concerning spread, some brokers have markups, others have commissions and others have both. It is their business model and it is absolutely normal and acceptable for service-providers like brokers to charge for their services in both ways.
As for price manipulation, you can watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-_HweZUGS4. We can assure you that there is no price injection functionality in cTrader, which is standard in the “other platform”. It is the broker's choice how many digits they offer and there is nothing manipulative about this.

Best Regards,

UPDATED:

//  ​The cBot when started will execute an  order, setting Take Profit and Stop Loss.
//  In the event that the position opens it prints a message to the log.
//  In the event that the position closes it prints a message to the log and executes another order.

Thank you for the information provided. This helps the investigation. We still require some additional information, if you could send us an email to support@ctrader.com with the following:

Account Number
Location (Country)
Frozen currency pair (does that happen for all pairs or specific ones)
Date and Time of freezing( or other trading issue experienced)
Do freezes happen on the Web and Windows at the same moment?

Hello,

The tick volume is increased only when the Bid price changes, so it will not be the same as the number of times the OnTick event is being called which occurs when either the Bid or the Ask price change.
