  If you are using time frames higher that 1H and the brokers server are on different time zones the higher time frames will be different They break for a new 4H or 1D on midnight local server time

 my strategy use principally H1.

 my brokers  MT5 (Alpari & ActivTrades) use the same time zone and i use only TimeTradeServer() as time. 

the orders a generated simultaneously

the same settings are used

 the net profit is 10000 € for ActiveTrades and 60000 € for Alpari (example)
