quote/demo = quote/live?

New comment
 
I noticed that there are small differences in the prices of two different platforms demo.

What is the reason?.
The quotes demo account are different from the live account?
Or each platform has price quotations independent?.
Thank you. A greeting.

The main differences are that:-

Response times vary more on a live server due to varying load

Spread doesnt vary on a demo server

The feed to the demo servers comes off the live servers not off the banking system or trading desk - so is 'smoothed' a bit

Tick count varies between demo/live

OHLC varies

Candle (bar) gaps vary

...

Just look at an M1 chart on a live account and compare alongside the demo chart


You can argue the contributing factors but the fact is that they are significantly different and you cant do anything about it :(

Just use demo to get the basics right for order handling etc, but realise that an EA can succeed on a demo account yet fail on a live one :(

Good luck
