Chart Symbol different from EA symbol, what are the issues?

[billysballo]

Hi,

I was wondering what are the issues ,if any when we run an EA based on indicators with specific currencies, let s say "EURUSD" e.g

iHigh("EURUSD",PERIOD_D1,1);  

on a chart that runs a different symbol than the EA's, let s say "GBPUSD" chart.

What are the implications of this divergence?

Thanks

Depends on the strategy that is built into the EA. Every security has its own market edges, R/S levels, spreads. A backtest should reveal whether it's profitable on the symbol or not.
