I trade demo accounts frequently in my spare time to gauge the level of service from different brokers and to test new strategies walking forward. I noticed that a certain brokers demo MT4 platform (and prices) seemed to act differently (in a VERY negative fashion) versus another brokers "fair trading technology" demo MT4 platform and servers. I am aware of the difference between pure spread and commission + spread pricing schemes, and that is not what I am taking issue with.
Maybe my screenshots will shed light on the situation.
The price on chart, and the price in the account history tab are CLEARLY different. This is the LIVE price. I have circled these prices for you for clarity. Strangely enough, this is only the case on the E/U pair, and not the G/U pair (at the moment.) I am testing a correlation hedge strategy among other things and curious as to why this is the case... very strange indeed. I will share the name of the broker later if it is deemed that they are at fault in some way. I don't want to seem like some undercover employee of a rival or something like that. Comments, thanks. The correctly priced G/U pic is the middle one, the incorrect E/U price is atop and bottom of the middle one.
