Arbitrage EA Demo

People, there are good reasons why this works on a demo and not on a live account. A demo is already a slave of a real broker server and there is a micro delay between the demo and the real server.

 

Brokers being brokers, can see the orderflow of the underlying orders. Not only do they know who's orders are coming in but they also know where most of the limit or stop orders are. If they think the price is going up (they have a pretty good idea) because they see where all the pending orders are, each broker can move its platform about 2pips in anticipation of the move. However if then next tick is less than anticipated it will move back immediately with a gap (if you look at the minute chart).

 

It is not necessarily a genuine move in price just an action by the broker than does not always register on the brokers slave. In addition, most broker demo platforms have less slippage and far less re-quotes than a real account. In my opinion the latency between real data flows of each broker, is unlikely to yield any meaningful consistency.
