MT4 Optimization backtest results

Hello, can someone explain to me what the backtest results mean.

On the pic attached you'll see DD, profit, trades, etc the same but can have VERY different Profit Factor results ??? Why would that be? 34 - 823 ??

Thanks

Yes, the website seems to be working now, and I was finally able to download the history data.

Thanks for notifying me,

 

Wich MT4 data is similar to MB Trading

I personaly use fxdd MT4 for my charting and MB for my Broker . If you stick with EUR/USD USD/JPY and GBP/USD you should be fine as both the FXDD & MB Trading data for these three are almost tick for tick the same. Hope this info helps you out and brings you lots of pips!
