I use a Demo Account of a broker for its' charts (MT4) and another broker for the execution. The demo is maybe a second or two ahead of my live account on a certain pair. For scalping it's a slight advantage and it's good in only one pair so far. I experienced this in the last few days and I'll be watching it more closely next week.
I think the reason is demo broker uses higher spreads and the spread opens up when the market starts making a move. The ECN is tighter and follows the demo after a few seconds.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
I don't want to give the name of the demo broker on this forum but you can send me a pm if interested.
