So, I tried Alpari demo MT4 to run EA backtest, and it gives profits.
Is it normal that each MT4 platform gives different result?

every broker has different prices (a different data feed). So it is normal to get very different results, in case you have a scalping EA (trading in the very short term). It is normal to get almost the same results if you trade rarely (long holding periods), and if you go in and out of the market not during very volatile times.

Please note that SOME brokers have 2 different data feeds: the real data feed for their real accounts, and a fantasy datafeed for their demo accounts. This system aims to show you profits in the demo account, to make you open a real account.

noone says that all EAs are profitable. If you take 20 EAs and find 2 profitable ones, then this can be a very good result.
