    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

    More info coming soon.

Has anyone ever compared feeds from one broker to another?

I have recently become aware quite by accident that for a reason I do not understand there appears to be differences in price action between one broker and another. Let me elaborate. I am interested in trading binary options and up to now I have used my current forex broker's charts to monitor price action and take a position. My broker is Alpari UK. The Binary broker is Traderush. Now in analyzing my trades from weeks back, I noticed that when I compare the information on my Alpari chart and the results form the Binary broker that in several cases not only are the price levels not the same, which I can understand, but on my Alpari platform the price is going down whereas the Binary platform says that for the the same period the price was going up. In several cases if I base my results on the Alpari chart my trades were ITM (successfull) yest according to the Traderush platform and feed I was OTM and lost the trade. Can anyone explain this? I can understand that the price levels can be slightly different accounting also for the spread set by the broker but how can the direction of the trade be different for a given currency EURUSD in this case for a given time period ranging from 15 minutes to an hour? Does this happen also among Forex brokers? Hoping someone with lots of experience can answer this.....I am really puzzled.
 
Personally, I suspect that almost any forex broker will be closer to reality than most Binary Options brokers.
