ea not working

Yes. Your EA does not properly adjust for different contract specifications or broker conditions.


 

In other words, there may be differences. Here are a few possibilities:

  • Quote prices
  • Spread
  • Commission
  • Swaps
  • Minimum volume or volume step
  • Liquidity
  • Network latency
  • etc.

Compare different brokers, to find the best trading conditions.

Recommendations are not allowed in the forum, so you need to make your own search.

Network latency? Improve your internet connection or use a VPS that is close to the broker and offers low latency connection to them.

Liquidity? I don't believe liquidity is your problem since I am sure you are not trading with millions in your account balance and high volume, unless it is a VERY RARE symbol being traded. But in any case, you can't change liquidity. Choose a broker that offers the necessary conditions for the the type of trading you need.
