I back tested an EA that I’m writing with FXDD from Jan 5 to Jan 10 on a 5 min chart. It shows great success. However, i also tested the EA with ODL and I didn’t see nearly as much success. It’s weird I’ve also double tested other EAs in this fashion and, while they don’t ever come out to the exact same number, they’re usually pretty close. Is there something wrong with the back tester for one of these two brokers?
Spreads maybe?
i thought that too except we’re talking a difference of 700 pips. I thought that was too large for spread. I also tested a different EA through the same time period and came up with numbers that were really close. I’m not sure what’s going on. I guess I’ll just test it on a demo account this week and see real results instead of just back testing.
