Total different performance of exactly same EA on different brokers. In Programming Aug 02 2010 at 02:50
yes Kenny good thinking!! Thanks and when I use OrderCloseBy() I don't have to worry about time... maybe I can wait for moment when spread is the lowest.

Thanks Kenny that's very useful information. Honestly I don't understand mechanics what's happening on broker's side. Why he has to enter opposite trade when I'm closing trade? I thought broker is passing and leveraging my trade somewhere "farther away" [smiley]. Does it work other way as well? What broker does when I'm entering new trade? Has he closes his existing trade in opposite direction?
I really didn't notice OrderCloseBy() function. [smiley] Thanks for the examples, so far I used in closing routine similar way like in your Close_All script.
In my case I have mixed bag of B......

Thanks Kenny.
Closing 30 trades takes about 1-5 seconds, it seems to me pretty fast. Maximum within 1-3 ticks, that's why I think can't be caused by spread [sad]
Minimal slippage I managed to do via recursive loop with increasing slippage value.
In other words:
EA tries to close trade with slippage 0. if fails
tries again with slippage 1. if fails
tries again with slippage 2. if fails
tries again with slippage 3. if fails
.........
until trade is clo......

Thanks for ideas. Hmm.... it seems to the world of MT4 is less ideal that I thought [confused]
My EA works on idea of martingale system, but if case of larger movement of the market it opens hedges for some trades to protect equity. EA calculates combined profit for all opened BUY and SELL positions and if reaches "Target combined $ profit" or "Target Stop loss $ profit" closes all trades immediately with minimal slippage as possible.
EA calculates profit for each trade the way ( OrderProfit()+OrderSwap() ) so I believe this should be independent from broker's feeds. And......

Hello programmers,
I'm newbie with programming EA.
I'm using my own EA and Ive made test to run same EA with same setting on few different brokers demo accounts.
EA on 2 brokers runs very similar in profit but on another 2 brokers runs completely different and to my surprise got 2 negative results and totally different. I've started them in same time on same balance and as far I know spreads are very similar on tested brokers.
Can anyone experienced advise me, what could cause this differences? That exactly same EA on same conditions with different broker gives completely opposite results......
