📊 Same EA, different results? Here is why Broker and Account Type change everything
We often think that an Expert Advisor should replicate the exact same results on any account. The reality of live trading (especially fast-paced scalping on indices like the US30) is very different. Results heavily depend on the broker, the account type, and the execution conditions at that exact millisecond.
Here is a real example from today with my US30 Dow Scalper (0.3 lots trade):
-
Account A (fpMarkets): +€24 🟢
-
Account B (BlackBull Markets): +€24 🟢
-
Account C (fpMarkets - different account type/server): +€2 🟡
The interesting part? Yesterday, the exact opposite happened: Account C closed at +€2, while the other two closed in loss.
What’s behind these differences?
-
Latency and Servers: Even with the same broker, different accounts can live on different servers (e.g., New York NY4 vs. London LD4). A single millisecond of delay in sending the order can mean getting a slightly better or worse entry price (Slippage).
-
Account Type (Raw/ECN vs. Standard): Accounts with zero spreads and commissions execute orders at raw market prices. Standard accounts have a marked-up spread that can trigger a Take Profit late or a Stop Loss too early.
-
Liquidity and Price Feeds: Brokers do not share the exact same feed. A micro-tick difference on the chart can cause one account to trigger a trailing stop or a partial close, while the account next to it hits that level just a split second later (or misses it entirely).
The Takeaway: When evaluating an EA, always look at statistical stability over the medium/long term, not a single trade. Choosing a low-latency VPS and an ECN/Raw account suited for scalping is essential to maximize performance.
Part 2: The Technical Deep Dive
P.S. For the tech-savvy: I analyzed today's Journal logs. In the accounts that performed better, a temporary race condition occurred during a rapid price spike. The EA attempted to modify the Stop Loss, but the server returned a rejection code (Error 10036) because the market was moving too fast. The result? The trailing stop wasn't updated, allowing the trade to "breathe" and hit the full target (+€24). On the third account, lower latency meant the modification went through instantly, locking in the trade at +€2 early. Broker latency is, for all intents and purposes, a variable of the strategy itself!
