optimization and backtesting problem

 

Hello and good day to all!

I am new to mql4 and recently developed an EA.

I tried to optimize the EA using strategy tester and it worked fine with good results But when I try to test a single set of inputs (that was found among the optimization results) the result is nothing similar to the one found in the optimization run (I use "set input parameters" option so I am sure that the parameters are right, also the dates are set just like the optimization run).

Can anyone give me a clue to guide me through this?

Thanks a lot!

Possible reasons and solution:

  • don't include the current date in the testing date range
  • use a fixed spread and not "current" spread
