mirror trade was way off.
10 Apr 2017, 20:17

I have a signal provider which executed the following trades

The good tradte opened at 12:30:01.661

The mirror account did not execute the same trades:

The bad trade opened at 12:30:08.997

 

Can you please provide an explaination for the difference?

Hi lec0456,

There are many reasons that might cause a difference in the execution result of a mirror strategy. Some of them could be the following

1) Executed VWAP. Since the provider's order has been executed first, he/she might got a better price than you.

2) Different spreads between brokers. Difference in spreads will cause a different executed price for each of you.
