Good day,

I am in the UK and currently using Proreal on a IG Index demo account. Can I use proreal with any other brokers?. I am just looking to take the system live but with a low amount of risk and all IG can offer is £1pp minimum with a guaranteed stop, which it to much to do a live test. Also the system I have created works on a MA cross and works well with Proreal but when I test the same system with other platforms it does not work so well. I have tried backtesting with Ctrader and MT5 , Is this a common thing people find ?

Thanks

Barny

If you plan to use automatic trading, then the only possibility is with IG (or an IG sponsored account by PRT).

Automated strategies made with ProOrder for ProRealTime only read and execute code one time per bar, at its Close, while many other platforms are trading on the ticks received by their brokers. So I think the differences you spotted come from this behavior, you are not comparing the same exact strategies.

Furthermore, different brokers also mean different data with different time settings, etc..
