The most dangerous problem: Brokers give different data

My trading system requires precise prices for open, close, low and high but it is really troublesome when each broker gives different ticks. I know that's the nature of the FX market as each broker uses different liquid providers and also the makeup spreads of the broker but it feels really pissed when you won in one broker but then lost in another broker because the price did not hit the TF on the other broker.

It also freaks me out when the tick closes above a level on one broker's chart but below that level on another broker's chart.

Important lesson learned today: Always triple check with at least 3 brokers for the price action and always give at least 2 pips errors for the take profit and entry levels.

Sorry everybody about the rant, I just lost 3 trades in a row because the price was 5 points from my TF then bounced back to hit Stop.

You mean take profit by saying TF?

Oh, this is actually a common problem, and this is a sin for many companies that do not ensure that traffic matches reality and delays are rare exceptions. I think in that case you have two ways.
The first is to try a calmer approach so that you don't get attached to such detailed indicators. I know it probably won't work for you, but it really is.
The second is to change the brokerage company, because it slows down your development to some extent and prevents you from getting the desired results. There's nothing wrong with changing a brokerage company. You have quite strict requirements, and this means that you need to spend a little more time looking for the right conditions.

Thanks for your suggestion and share your experience. and i think it's really a common problem on forex trading. So, we all should be very careful about this problem.
Thank you.

As you have mentioned, this is the nature of the forex market. It really sucks, but we just have to accept it and adapt. People may have different 4 hour & daily candles based on their broker. Some may see certain price action candles (ex: inside bar, engulfing bar etc.), while others don't. All we can do is pick a criteria/standard for ourselves. Otherwise, we'll drive ourselves insane.

If you're trading multiple accounts, I suggest you try using a trade copier and have the broker with the worst spreads as the master account. In that case, the slave accounts would almost always hit TP/SL. You just need to keep an eye on the master account and decide whether or not to close the trade manually if all other trades in the slave accounts have already closed.

One solution would be to select one broker as your main broker to make all trading decisions. If your trading strategy is that sensitive to price, it'll only make it more complicated to check the price of multiple brokers. You may miss your entry while checking all broker prices, and sometimes you'll make decisions based on broker A, sometimes broker B etc. which may bring inconsistency into your trading. We have to draw the line somewhere.

If you don't like the idea of basing your trades on one broker, maybe try avoiding the setups if you see such discrepancies. If you're not sure about a setup, it may be better to wait for the next opportunity and take a more confident/clear setup. There will always be more opportunities. FOMO can hurt you in trading.

One of my friends is using the Differences between the brokers to make a lot of money so Why don't we use it then?

You have correctly assessed the situation, because even a high-quality, honest brokerage company can not always focus on what data should be displayed on the platform. This may be due to the weak functionality of a particular trading terminal, high volatility in the market, strong economic events, etc. So yes, you should definitely leave a certain margin of error so as not to be disappointed every time. On the other hand, I would agree that this should not happen all the time, because it will definitely lead to an extremely emotional reaction and that you are more likely to make more mistakes. Watch the developments, and if you notice that everything goes fundamentally wrong - no doubt, change the brokerage company.
And probably limit yourself to small amounts for now. Why take a risk?

If I noticed something like that, I would immediately think about changing the company, because in my opinion, such a large discrepancy is unacceptable and it can not contribute to the qualitative development of the market at all.
In fact, any brokerage company should help a trader and not create any difficulties. And most likely, it turns out precisely because the Company offers access to some primitive trading terminal, which is not able to qualitatively display market data. Or it has nothing to do with the real market at all. In general, in any case, for me it would be a clear reason to change the company. But you may have a different opinion, it is your business.

This is a fairly common problem. And I agree that it can really be a big challenge in your daily work, even if you do qualitative analysis and spend a lot of time trading in general. In fact, it's always difficult enough to assess the situation to see whether it's a problem created by the company on purpose or a technical failure. It seems to me that if it happened only once, it is worth talking to the company's employees to warn that such a situation is possible. I have heard that sometimes people are compensated for such financial losses. It can really be a situation that is an unpleasant coincidence of circumstances, and nothing more...
