Based on research, there is a *huge* difference between brokers. http://www.forex-tsd.com/66483-post666.html IBFX and related brokers (FXLQ, V4X, FXSOL) have a pretty strange erratic signal as well. NF and FXDD have a cleaner signal that is very similar between demo and real accounts.
Some reading material.
I posted these charts on IBFX forum and enquired if this is the expected normal spreads on IBFX accounts and here is Adam's (site administrator) multiple responses.

Wackena and Everyone ...
Please understand the enormous difference between IBFX and FXDD or others. FXDD has a dealing desk and therefore can offer fixed spreads.
There is nothing else to it ... Do you guys want us to have a dealing desk?
Maybe I should set a poll, maybe we will set ourselves up as a dealing desk because to be honest not having one is causing us more grief ...

Here is a PM I received from a forum member. I don't know if they want to be identified or not so I will leave them anonymous:

thanks for the info. very interesting that FXQL is the liquidity provider for those brokers. i interrogated IBFX on what happens to orders. and they said that they don't match any orders internally. so it seems as though FXLQ does all the order matching via their internal pool of liquidity and offsets the residual, then rebates IBFX accordingly. which means IBFX makes the misleading claim of "no dealing desk" on a technicality it's a funny game.
The way I look at it, IBFX has no dealing desk because they outsource it. They let someone else manipulate their prices, and perform marketing with the claim "no dealing desk" which *technically true* in a way - they don't operate one, but FXLQ does.
I thought the comments about markets moving which require spread increases was funny. I watch the trades between banks, seeing 8000 minilots trade hands every 2-3 seconds is impressive. Seeing the spreads of 0.5-1 pip on every major is also impressive. I'm hoping to funnel the level 1 data into MT4 eventually and run experts on it. If I can't do that, I'll just rewrite the experts in C.
IBFX claiming the market had 10 pip spreads is just ridiculous. The OTC market had 0.5 pips, the broker island of FXLQ, IBFX, FXSOL, V4X (white label) had a 10 pip spread. Their little minimarket is toxic.
