So how did you test your strategy?
To know if a strategy really going to have a chance it has to be tested with accurate tick data, variable spreads and slippage to get as close to the real market behaviour as possible! MT4 does not have this feauture as standard and you have to use a third party program that provide theese very important feautures!
Example; You have let's say a scalper and with MT4 standard testing it looks asum and very very profitable, then when you suddenly test it with variable spreads and slippage with accurate tickdata as Close to the real market conditions you get a whole new Picture of your startegy that maybe in theese new test totally fail.
I took time to fine all the code to make a bot work. back test it. Then use a demo accounts and it work very well. So I used it on a live accounts. but lossed £2000 pounds. AS you will see by the pic on the live account when I was at work it just dumped all the orders at one time. There for the on thing I can say is the code is not the same. So when they said to try it on back test then on demo accounts to see if it work if not try as the code is not the same. My demo account is up by £4525:-(
don't understand this...
did you coding yourself? how do you know it's not the same? who are they?

this has to do with the EA you are using
Stop loss and Take Profit need to be a price.
input double MoneyTakeProfit = 40; // Profit (in money) there is
and it work on back test and demo
input ushort InpStopLoss = 1000; // ExtStopLoss same here
Live accounts do not work the same as demo and back test.
They have never worked the same as demo and back test.
This is normal and to be expected.
Some people think that Live accounts work the same as demo and back test.
But this is an error on their side.
I always ask them, who told you that a back test should be the same as a live account ?
What makes you think that ?
But they usually don't know the answer to those questions!
