The same signal is installed on 2 identical graphs, the first one turning in real time mode and the 2nd in Auto Trading Sync mode on an account broker.
How to explain that some trades are sometimes completely different between these 2 graphs, while it is the same signal on the same flow of data??
Auto Trading Mode
Thank you for this answer.
Here are screnshots of an example, with a copy of the settings for Sync mode.
The orders concerned are Stop orders.

The situation when you have absolute identity on charts with and without auto-trade is highly unlikelly.
The differences between identical charts with and without auto-trade can be caused by a number of reasons. Firstly, difference in price may be caused by the fact that the order was sent with one price, but got filled with another on a broker. Also, the time of order execution at a broker (thus, the time on a chart with SA) may not match with the time indicated on a chart without autotrade, because of the time required to send the order to a broker as well as the time at which the broker executes it.
If you experience significant differences, please provide us with more detailed description of the problem.

Dave, I confirm that the two charts are absolutely identical, and on a 1 minute time frame, this problem appears several times a day corresponding to approximately 10% of trades.
These very small positions (10K or 20K on EURUSD) should not undergo differential quotations from a serious broker (FXCM) ...
I will continue my tests and get back to you if these differences persist.

Dear StratMan,Here are screnshots of an example, with a copy of the settings for Sync mode.
The orders concerned are Stop orders.
Judging by the screenshots and the fact that you have difference between charts with and without auto-trade in approximately 10% of trades, I can conclude that such behavior is within normal limits for the reasons stated above.
