Do all of the brokers have the same dealing (bid and ask) rates or do they very?

If they very big time how reliable are charts?

What I mean to say is we use the charts to determine an entry and exit point. But if we get in at point A and the rate on the chart says for example 1.7986 but the dealing rate (ask/bid) is 1.7989/1.7994 You already are at loss because of the spead but now you are a bigger loss because the dealing rate is not following the chart or visa versa. and if every broker has their own dealing rates (ask/bid) who if any are accurate of what the real price of the currency is? I am I making any since?

If yor using one broker you should be allright. if your using charts from a chart service you should check to see how far the prices or off from your broker if not by much you should be allright.

I had wanted to clarify :]If FX price of a specific pair is NOT determined on specific eXchange's, what is "the specific price" to be/ that is reckoned globally at "a particular instance" for a particular pair and How+Who aggregates price information for a single pair ?[ - I learn that back end price aggregation in real time between broker platform does not happen and they are discrete - NOW how far can price vary between trading platforms - I am not too sure.
