Vincethebeast,

I agree with you about standard sizing of accounts for backtesting. That would be very useful.

Right now a major concern of mine (I consider it a big bug) is the different results from using the same broker, same time. Once we tackle that problem, we might be able to properly address the question of Alpari's data stream versus another. Also, I don't know if the MT Build200 datastream is broker specific or Alpari only. I need to download a few and see if they are identical.

It may turn out that once we fix the 'varied results' issue that we automatically account for different data streams. I have been staring at the indicators and thinking. The individual broker streams shouldn't have vastly different moving averages. The likely main reason for differences is the timing of entry points.
