I’m new to EA’s but when I test I have noticed that an EA is going fine and making good profits but at the end of the time frame you set it plateaus like in the pic. Why is that and is that really gonna happen on a live account?
This is because the money you actually have while holding unclosed position is Equity, not Balance. At the end, when the test ends and all unclosed positions are automatically closed - you count all losses and get the real money that lasts.
I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the help.
