The settings of the Expert Advisor in MT4 and its analogue in MT5 are identical
No reason for the difference in pips has been found
The main reason for that is 6332 pips over a year, and moreover, on a period of 2000. For such pips strategies, any difference in one pip is critical.
Where should the tests be more correct? In MetaTrader 5, as it has a more accurate/detailed modeling tester, which also uses spread information within each minute.
The apparent discrepancy between the number of 6332 trades in MT5 and 5442 trades in MT4 indicates that at some point the transaction sequences became out of sync and the subsequent chain of operations diverged.
Unfortunately, Alpari have not yet fully synchronised and correctly prescribed the symbol history on their MetaTrader 5 server - they still do not have the spreads set. On our demo server, for example, we have the history with prescribed spreads.
The best advice is to write EAs so that they are not affected by small differences of 1-2 pips. This means don't be fooled by pips.

Year 2000, Minutes and Pips are just an example. No more than that.
The situation is rolled from 2000 to 2010 on other TFs and tp/sl
If you take tp/sl over 100 (5 digit quote) the situation does not change fundamentally. MT5 goes up, and MT4 still plummet. sometimes they plummet together of course (it depends on the settings and the market situation)
Overall stagnation
The explanation has not been found. The programmer is testing the code, but so far the silence.

This is a direct and clear example. Pipsew strategies are not confirmable in slightly changed conditions (e.g. at a different broker).
No explanation will be found until one refuses to accept the impossibility of confirming pipsing strategies.
A story repeated more than a dozen times on our forums. Everyone goes through writing unprotected/unproblematic signals.

And what is to be considered as a pips? 2-3-7-10-15 pips? Everyone has their own criteria.

Did you read my post?
My TS is also verified - TS made for mt4 and mt5 go in different directions in terms of profitability without using scalping.
You can use stops of 100-300 pips or more... It doesn't eliminate basic disagreement!
The problem I pointed out is not solved!
I also struggled with one advisor, mt5 and mt4, the only way out I found was to put mt5 and mt4 up at alpari (servers must be the same) and use my "online" eyes to see how and what opened - this is the most reliable way to compare how the same system works on mt5 and mt4.
That doesn't work for me.
What's stopping you?
Once again, take the same settings and at least run it for one week and compare trades, or better still, watch with your eyes and everything will fall into place, much will become clear.
What's stopping you from doing that?
