I didn't see the attachment...(it dosen't show) but.... remember, the backtest is using fixed openings and closings, the real thing bounces up and down within the candlesticks... this is usually enough to throw off even the best theory.

Good answer! Actually I was kinda wrong above anyway... I found that you can more or less emulate the market by using the "Every tick" on the tester, if you have the history for all the time periods below the one you are testing.. It sure changed my "profit" in a hurry...
(the article or topic is here somewhere to explain that)
