Please how true and reliable are back test results?
Because i have made some number of EAs
that has very great backtest result
but on real account getting screwed up
Backtests can be reliable in telling how good an EA is doing in the past, but can't foretell the future.
The market is always changing and something that works well in the past, doesn't mean that it will work in the future too.

Thanks, but i'm surprised it will gather very good results to even the last traded day.
but nit do same on real
Also, maybe you put the wrong spread number, commission, swap.
all these need to be taken into consideration.
I personally use only 100% data quality and then test on demo how it works.
Later I use a MicroAccount to see if the EA is stable and reliable.
After going through this process, I will give it a real account.
