Hi

I'm an algorithmic trader and I came up with a simple strategy (mean reversion),
the thing is that it works far better on one particular broker (like 2 times better, not a small improvement)
the broker is NDD and regulated so it's not a market maker.

so my question is :
do the other brokers filter the price to make traders lose more ?
or does the broker in question filters the price so that traders make more money ? (but why ? so that more people come to their platform ?)

or is it just the chart prices ? and real live prices are different ?
I don't know which broker to trust

thanks

Have to livetest with little money to find out

thanks



so I tested today to see if the prices received by the broker differ from the prices
restituted when you open a new account.
(I created a new account to retrieve the stored prices to be sure there are
no shenanigans with live prices received)

I printed the BID value just before the new bar opens as well as the
previous CLOSE value.
And here are the results:

GBPUSD as you can see there are not any differences
so I think it's safe to say that the price shown in backtest reflects any filtering
that could occur and is not manipulated afterwards by the broker

so the broker seems legit
