Metatrader 4 strategy Tester
Because, certain default information used by the Strategy Tester is based on the current Market/Broker conditions which will change between tests.
The two main culprits that change regularly are:
- the spread, if you don't set it explicitly and just leave it at "current".
- the tick-value, if using symbols or currency pairs for which the quote currency is different to your deposit currency (for example running a test on xxx/USD but your deposit is in EUR).
To properly use the Strategy Tester, requires some advanced skill and knowledge which many beginners lack. A lot of research is required to learn to properly use it.

To answer your question, I have already mentioned 2 points here, but for more details you won't find much on the forum (or other sites). You may find a few things scattered about but there is no central place explaining all these things.
They are all points that one only learns mostly through experience with trading, coding and running back-tests as well as research and reading the documentation. If you lucky you may have someone tutor or mentor you on various points.
In my case, I had no mentor, and I had to learn it by myself with a lot of research and by gaining the necessary experience.
