expat1967 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Dear Brokers, It would be interesting to get an official statement/backgrounds on some technical observations: 1. How do Brokers allocate the number of ticks send? My observation is that, some brokers have only up to 50% of ticks than others over the same timeframe monitored. 2. Why does a Live and Demo account of the same Broker differ in number of ticks and spreads over the same period measured? My results show up to 25% tick difference and spread from -0.2 up to 0.7 differences making a demo account rather useless for most EA testing. Shouldn't that be an issue for the controling instance since it might mislead traders? MT4 History Data: Besides Alpari NZ all Brokers appears to struggle to provide gap free data! That's a well known issue, why does it continue? As well an issue which should be handled by a controlling instance as it makes backtesting worthless and missleads the "unexperienced" trader. Cheers Edited December 16, 2010 by expat1967
