Backtest vs. Results

 

Hello,

Have been running an EA on USDCHF/EURGBP/USDJPY/EURJPY/USDCAD/GBPJPY since 26/6/16 logging results on Excel daily.

Total gain for above currencies is £147.82 (26/6/16 - 16/7/17). Actual data - demo account.

Ran a backtest for each currency and total for period 26/6/16 - 16/7/17 shows a loss of £164.69. A difference of £312.51.

For each currency have downloaded latest data from History Centre.

Backtest was "Every Tick"..

Any suggestions re improving accuracy of backtest..?

Thanks...

 
Set the spread. Most likely you ran the test on the weekend and used current spread, so it was large.
