problem duplicating MySystem results

New comment
 
I downloaded the code and ran it on what I thought were the same parameters and I ger:
MySystem

Symbol EURUSDm (Euro vs US Dollar)
Period 15 Minutes (M15) 2006.01.12 10:00 - 2006.09.22 00:00 (2005.10.18 - 2006.09.22)

Maximum consecutive wins (profit in money) 4 (2883.88) consecutive losses (loss in money) 9 (-4398.34)
Maximal consecutive profit (count of wins) 2883.88 (4) consecutive loss (count of losses) -4398.34 (9)
Average consecutive wins 2 consecutive losses 2

To begin with, what could make my data only go back to Jan 12?  Even though I only test 9 months instead of 12, should the results be this far off from the tester results shown with the download?  I even tried "Every tick" to get it more accurate.  I think there's something I still don't understand about backtesting.
