MT4 strategy tester not reliable

 

Hi,

I coded an EA and left it running on a vps for a month, then I tried to run the same dates and same inputs on the strategy tester the results are so incredibly different, it made 3x more profit on the vps and I have modeling quality 99.90%.

Is there any other way of testing my EA that's more reliable?

Yes, MT5 testing is far superior than MT4 backtesting.

If you want to do some serious EA testing and optimization you should use MT5.
