On my side, happened before yesterday…
moreover, i persist in saying that for a long time it’s impossible to correctly test a strategy on a demo account… (orphan trades, spread, etc, …..)

Grahal, I have just checked and no orphans in my demo account. I don´t remember to have any orphan in Demo, maybe but I don´t remember. I do remember to have one in real some years ago, I remember it well because it scared me a lot that something like that could happen more but it never happened again.
I agree with Makside that Demo doesn´t work very well for testing systems, lot of errors wich I don´t know the cause and doesn´t happen in real and differences in orden execution. Another difference that bother me because I think it could be easily fixed is that they don´t have the same minimun position required for each active. For instance in DAX-Real is 0.5 and DAX-Demo is 1. Also they don´t react the same when this minimun is not reached, if I remember well in demo the order goes with the minimun and in real the system gives error and stop. I guess this doesn´t matter to many people because they use a fixed number of contracts but I work with differences in positionsize and is very annoying
