I noted also diferent results between demo and live...
but fortunely for me, live is better than demo!
We still have 3 days to go. Usually the last 2 days are very good.

I've notice some strange transactions on my live account. Does anyone know what these may be? When I looked up a couple of the numbers they were orders that hit a stop loss for -$3.00 and these look like refunds for those. I'm not sure why they're in there but I'm not exactly complaining except if they were refunds because they should have been losers then they might have been winners and should have been more than $3.00 or at least could have been.
The same number of transactions have shown up on my father's live account as well.

mtaboneweb,
am a newbie and i noticed this live/demo discrepancies some months ago. one thing that that helped was that i had acces to both live and demo charts with my broker even before depositing funds in the live account)not too many brokers allow this). i found these differences and one excuse i learnt here at FF was that they usually do not pay too much attention to thier demo servers. i had to backest my strategy all over again. and since that time all strategies i hope to develop has been tested on live data feeds. good luck

Week ending 2008-08-15 (EUR/USD Live).
Please not that I did turn this off for a day because it was taking such a hit and when I turned it back on last night I downed the lots from 0.06 to 0.01 which is why the pips/dollars will not match up. Live account was on an InterbankFX account but some with other brokers had better results. Please refer to previous posts to see how there were differences in price between live and demo this week. That is most certainly the cause for such different results.
Previously I did note that Daily start of the week price for demo/live did not match but Weekly charts match on both live and demo accounts. Using this price may have yielded more similar results between live and demo and may be an option I would add to the EA (Choice to use Daily or Weekly charts).
