hm.....broker on the right seems ti have a tighter spread, quicker pricing...........and the EA performs there badly.............looks like the right one shows real makret prices?
If yes, what is the broker on the left doing here?
And why does the EA perform so well there?
Could it be that the indis of my EA just work "better" on the price feed of the left broker?
If yes, why?
And again, where does the difference in ECN price feeds come from?
Do I then only need to worry about slippage & commissions?
Or could future signals of the strategy even get worse because the live spread changes constantly and hence signals will also differ in quality (like in the right feed)?
Thx
Should I open a different thread regarding the issue?
Concentrating on the issue "same indis, same settings, different brokers, different signals" ?
I posted here:

The answer is in the spreads, slippage, internet connection and the robustness of the EA. Some EAs have to many hidden filters the are not in the settings.
Hi..fractalfreak
I see Marco vd does not understand your question or he might have no answer. I have that similar issue needing a useful answer that get to the point from someone who really know how to explain.
I test my EA in MT4 same time period(30 Days) and same all other setting except the initial deposit. The result of 2000 $ is 3358$ and the result of 1000$ initial deposit is 48$(- 952$). I test it 10 times and all result are same.

Maybe you don't understand the tester.
You should check to see if the EA places orders of exact the same size at exact the same time.
I bet you it does not.

Exact same EA, different brokers, different results..............

Hi,
The discussion is about backtesting, so let it be clear :
So the difference comes from somewhere else. There is a lot of possibilities :
You should check the Journal tab to see if any error appears. If you want really to know, you can even post the indicator(s), EA here so other people can check. If you can't to do that, you can post the logs and the backtests reports.
From my point of view it could be interesting to do that and demonstrate once for all why such things are happening. But I know for sure it's not a conspiracy from brokers, banks or even Metaquotes.
