But then it’s not broker x and broker y data anyway … it’s IG PRT and PRT Premium … both running on broker x data??
I’ll correct myself … it was IG PRT running on IG data and PRT Premium running on Direct to Exchange data?
I have had a look and the spot in PRT Premium and IG are two different products
Would have been more useful if both sets of data were for same period. As it is, the IG data goes back to early Feb 20 and the Spot data goes back to early Nov 19.
Also would have been interesting to see the difference in values for volume, as it is, volume is on the Spot data only.
If anybody does a comparison again, it be most useful if both charts were set up the same.
and using stochastics as an example the indicators that are used for triggers are therefore different when calculated
Even allowing for the date scale on the Spot data being more squashed (due to longer period shown) it’s significant that …
IG Data – Stochastic flattens on 4 Mar 20 and crosses on 20 Mar 20.
Spot Data – Stochastic flattens on 20 Mar 20 and crosses on 30 Mar 20.
PRT Premium data gaps a lot
The gaps in the Spot data will be when the Spot market opens and takes account of the out of market hours price movements.
Was the bot you used on both data sets 24 hour working?
The only correct way to do a meaningful comparison would be with a market hours only working bot because the Spot data is only available during market hours.
This one is European market hours only with 100k bars for the same time periods
Its uses RSI Divergences, as you can see its not close, IG PRT data on the left PRT premium on the right
The question is: does the demo/live forward looks like the ig backtest or the v11 backtest?
Personally, my live trades always looks like the backtests with IG, so i’m doubtful about v11 one.
his one is European market hours only
But the Instrument you tested on is US Tech 100 and so the test needed to be undertaken when the US market is open in order to have full Spot market hours data while at the same time having comparable IG data?
