Strategy tester isn't supporting real trade outcomes.
The tester tends to show better results than you would get in reality. It may be that you get positive results in the tester but the same EA performs bad in a demo account. But it's a great tool to find if out the strategy itself is solid. That is if you get bad results in the tester, it probably won't get better live. And it's also a great tool for debugging. So I fire it up to check if and where trades have been taken then investigate why, add some Print and run again.

Hello friends,
I rarely use Strategy tester on my programs. It was suggested to me by a friend that strategy tester is a fabulous tool to carry out long term and short term testing for expert adviser's and indicators.
Currently, I am still not convinced of it. Myself it seems to be a backward engineering trading tools.
