There is an Expert Advisor code opened in MetaEditor. I set breakpoints and launch the debugger. The debugger has two modes: debugging on historical data and debugging on real data. And there are two corresponding buttons on the MetaEditor panel. MetaEditor launches debugging on historical data in the tester, and debugging on real data - in the trading terminal, as it is written in the help, on a "special chart". Will the Expert Advisor launched in debugging on real data on this special chart trade for real?

Yes, it will. You just need to decide on which account everything will be done on, demo or real.
Debugging on real data shows the same value as in the chart in the terminal window, there is a signal, but debugging on historical data "moves", the signal is lost.
How to cure?
The same indicator on the same candlestick, timeframe and with the same values of parameters shows different values when testing on real data and when testing on historical data.

How to cure?
Cure: at least test on history in the"Every tick based on real ticks" mode. Treatment two: fix errors in your code.
