hello i am new to trading and this forum so if there is already a topic about this i apologize for spamming but i have notice something rather interesting.
i have been using a EA on both a live account and on demo account at the same time to forward test it and check the results on both of them, the thing is i notice when i put both accounts side by side there is a considerable lag on the live account, while in the demo account the market moves 2 ticks down and 4 ticks up in 1 second for example, on the live account it only moves the 2 ticks up and has like almost 0.5 second delay... how is this possible can someone explain to me? i think my slippage is due to this time lag because in my opinion 10 ticks slippage on 0.01 lots is way too much.
i hope i explained myself right and i await your help. thank you
Good question, I'm also experiencing it ever since i started forward test my EA two weeks back up to now, it seem on my back test trade are being opened but on the forward of the demo and the live no trade are being opened
