backtesting/optimisation question

[ztmalick]

hi all, 

when i optimize for my ea using strategy tester it gives a list of passes with profit and other results like drawdown. but most importantly it gives the inputs used in the pass.

so when i use those inputs in the ea why does it not produce the expected profit?

If anyone can help i would be grateful.

Regards,

Z

It could be that meanwhile the spread has changed, or the quotes has changed due to the time passed...
