Yes, Iomme. I agree with you.
I've have the feeling of something like that happening. I noticed stop orders being processed quite easier than in live mode.
But I fell it's not the only problem with ST. I suspect even normal orders are fullfiled somewhat easier like there were no slippage or something like that.
The EA's I have written scalp to profit in ST making huge profits but get frequently 'invalid prices' or go stoploss in live mode.
I would love to understand how exactly ST inflate simulated profits and be able to adapt EA to get part of that good profits.

In real life this trade would not have taken place, because buy limit was not reached.
Like I said, this is from my exprience.
Maybe some others can confirm this?
To be sure you could transfer your EA to MT4 and test ist there.
Results should be more realistic.
