Every Broker has different price quote and tick and each terminal allocate memory separately, you can't expect the same result on two different things. I run EA on the same broker but different accounts and it give different result. Nothing wrong with that.

Yes, in this strategy I use very aggressive trailing stops on each tick based on the fact that I want a higher win percentage rather than large profits. Thank you for sharing your experience. I've also noticed that there are certain cases where inputs work perfectly in both Pepperstone and Dukascopy data. I added news, spread filters and a range of hours in which it can open positions but unfortunately, if I previously had about 15 profitable variants, I ended up with only 2 because they're the only ones that worked across multiple brokers, which gives me the most confidence.

high win percentage usually links to account sustain serious drawdown/blow up, you can only get up to 50% winning rate when flipping a coin, now imagine all the extra information (time, price, volume, ticks, bid and ask) lower your win rate down.

Also, if the tick difference can make your EA win or fails, imagine what happens in a news spike, where the price instantly moves 1000 ticks, what will happen to your money? Keep in mind the market will always make you harder to win, easier to lose; so if the 1000 ticks spike is moving in the direction in your favor, you won't get much of it because you have your tiny take profit you set to boost win rate; however if the 1000 ticks spike is moving against your position, you probably will eat most of the move.
