I ran the optimiser on my EA. I have several variables (stop loss, take profit and three others).
The optimiser showed me tasty profits on various currency pairs, so I noted the values it had chosen and hard-coded them into the EA.
Then I just ran it on the strategy tester without optimising, but with the new values.
It showed a tiny profit on one currency pair and losses on the others !
This is the first time ith the strategy tester and optimiser but it makes no sense to me.
Am I missing something ? Why don't they agree with each other ?
This is really important to me because if the optimiser is telling the truth I can quit my day job but if the hard coded values are telling the real truth thn my EA is useless !
Many thanks
