Tradex have a good one. The easy way to know the best one is comparison.

Yes they are sometimes a lot of discrepencies between Mt4 platform from different brokers.

For example, I am testing an EA with the same settings and currencies on 2 different brokers:

- The trades are different. Sometimes they trade the same currencies with a difference in timing...sometimes they trade different currencies.

- On 1 broker the EA is making around 200 pips profit and on the other one it's loosing around 200 pips...That's 400 pips difference!


To add to the confusion, it seems that with some brokers, demo & real accounts have different feeds. It kind of blows any confidence we might have in the performance of an EA that was succesful in a demo account.
