These things are common my friend. Ignore if there is minor difference and do your trading.

K thanks. The funny thing is that the data feed with the gap actually updates major price changes faster but gives me less tick difference overall... weird. Anyways, I had never encountered this before.

The gap is at 2am - that broker's MT4 servers might reset at 2am every night.

Minor price differences between brokers is somewhat normal, BUT if you were to have 2 accounts with the same broker and 1 would be different than the other, THEN, that is a big BIG issue!

Different traders may be different degrees of filtration. There can be different sources of quotations.
