corbeste: one possible reason for different highs/lows is that ib/fxcm might start the 2-hour bars at a different hour than the sc chart - this is timezone dependent. I would try to compare 1 hour charts. Another possible reason is that SC is using midpoint for charts, and ib/fxcm might use something else, like bid/ask.

When comparing daily charts, as well make sure daily bars are started at the same hour, and if they include sunday bars.

My obsrevation is that the SC feed is reliable (i stare at them pretty much all day). Although i only use G7 pairs, so not entirely sure on crosses.
