I decided to run a test on IBFX, I was thinking about if a demo account has the same variables , not sure if that the correct term, as a live account, ie. data transfer speed, I was curious if a demo account was taken with the same seriousness as a live acount by the broker...
I only started this last nite, I placed an EA on a live account and the same EA on a demo. expecting the results to be close to the same, but they are not. so far the demo account has different entry point prices, much different trade results. the demo initiated a usd/jpy trade that the live account didnt, whick Im glad, because it was a losing trade..
the demo is sitting at + 12 pips and the live is at +55
