Hope this is the appropriate forum and if there's something somewhere else, please point me in the right direction.
Have been looking at trading the US30 on small timeframes, and also the US100 (NAS100) and have active demo accounts right now with FTMO and BlackBull Markets (BBM). And I was just looking at the bid price on the page on FF.
What I'm seeing, regularly, is major differences in prices between FTMO and BBM. Sometimes 20, 50, 100 or even 150 pips on the bid in volatile times like at US market open. Just this minute FTMO and BBM were around 40 pips out and the FF chart was 80 pips greater.
Today the high on the FTMO chart was at 16:32 and on BBM at 16:37. M1 candles are going the opposite direction; you'd swear it was different indices. If I run an EA on each of these brokers, then the results are entirely different, so does it have potential or is it crap? I have Tick Data Suite (source data from DukasCopy) but even their prices may be off the mark with everyone else.
I'm more familiar with different broker prices for FX pairs but I did not expect this, nor the significant differences, for the US30. Anyone have insight, experience, good sources to read up on to understand/reconcile this or suggestions beyond sticking with one broker and trying to make it work?
