I apologize if I made some confusion with my words. I was trying to mean, alot of the values changed slightly.. but when all of the values changed slightly, i suppose its quite major...
.. and Oanda definitely have more bars. Oanda weekends starts at around Fri gmt-3 2300-0000, ends around gmt-3 Sun 2100-2200, while Alpari weekend starts at gmt-3 2300 and ends at 0000.
So there are like an extra 3-4bars of data everyweek on Oanda's feed

I have the same issue and I decided to write a mini program on python using pandas library to remove historical data of weekend.
My EA use several indicators that get hundred bars on H1 and that's why result on 2 brokers are absolutely different.
There are no extra bars; period. Oanda is a NY+7, so no Sunday bars.
Chart times are broker times.Checking for Market Closed - Expert Advisors and Automated Trading - MQL5 programming forum
Swap is computed 5pm ET. No swap if no open orders at that time.
Only with NY+7 does the broker's 00:00 equals 5pm ET and the start of a daily bar (and H4) is the start of a new FX day.
GMT/BST brokers, means there is a 1 or 2 hour D1/H4 bar on Sunday (depending on NY DST,) and a short Friday bar.
GMT+2 is close but doesn't adjust for NY DST.
EET is closer except when their DST doesn't match NY's. Last Sunday of March and 1:00 on the last Sunday of October vs second Sunday in March and return at 2:00 a.m. EDT to 1:00 a.m. EST on the first Sunday in November.
