Visible slippage impact negatively affects custom trading strategies in cTrader
15 Jan 2023, 19:30


Greetings,

I am professionally implementing my own strategies in cTrader API.

The problem is as you can spot below in one backtest/live brokerage (FxPro) I am experiencing different behavior (profits) than another one (like Spotware (Hedging)) (losses) for exactly the same day period and minute resolution. Also, leverage settings seem the same, alongside the received data server tick data (accurate).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the issue due to slippage between different brokerages in cTrader? Is some setting I should consider in the robot model? Another generic setting in the experiment environment?

Thanks & Regards

Hi there,

It's impossible to give you an exact answer since the information is too little. Even the images are indiscernible :) Usually these discrepancies happen due to differences in historical data.
