See attached chart. Two major brokers: IC Markets and IG. Both Demo account. Daily charts.
MAJOR differences.
Small trend line breakout on one vs not-even-hit on the other (think about how different a message this gives: potential upcoming breakout vs nowhere-near-breakout!), pinbar vs not, many small candles on IG vs the many large candles on IC Markets...
Rationale 1: don't overly rely on chart events like Trend line crosses, double top accuracy etc.'s - even when it comes to a timeframe as high as Daily. I would instead use an "approximately double top", "approximately TL hit" etc. MAYBE. Give me your thoughts.
Rationale 2: if you're going to be coding an EA or anyting else, you'd better make sure that you use data from your broker (or better yet, back scan data live)
