Hi Victor,

It is possible that you get differing trades. Each broker has different trading conditions such as Leverage, Lot Size, Margin currency and so forth. Depending on how your EA is designed, this might affect the way it opens trades. If all the broker settings are exactly the same, then yes, you would expect to see the same results with the same data set.

Regards.
