Yes. Your EA does not properly adjust for different contract specifications or broker conditions.
In other words, there may be differences. Here are a few possibilities:
- Quote prices
- Spread
- Commission
- Swaps
- Minimum volume or volume step
- Liquidity
- Network latency
- etc.
Network latency? Improve your internet connection or use a VPS that is close to the broker and offers low latency connection to them.
Liquidity? I don't believe liquidity is your problem since I am sure you are not trading with millions in your account balance and high volume, unless it is a VERY RARE symbol being traded. But in any case, you can't change liquidity. Choose a broker that offers the necessary conditions for the the type of trading you need.
