Can I use my EA live even if it has mismatched error and unmatched data errors. Thanks.

 

You can, though whether your backtest means much depends on several factors...

What was the modelling quality percentage?

The number of errors relative to the number of trades and the n/a modelling quality means that confidence in the results is very low

With the low number of trades per year, will this run on a higher timeframe?

You might find you have better data quality there

This would help much more if your EA enters at the end of the bar rather than mid-bar...

If mid-bar you need seriously good data to have any relevance in your testing...

Hope it works out

Good Luck

By the time bar closes, it is too late. I need real time.

How can I test it without errors ? Do I need to download new data ?

thanks
