About 110 transactions a day. That is an obscene amount. Maybe they will tolerate such an EA on the real market for a while, but then they will suffer from requotes even on a calm market (on the demo, of course, they will tolerate as much as they want). The frequency of transactions is what should alert you. The only qualitative test of such an EA is a real one.
So there are about 13 minutes per position for opening and closing if averaged. There may be a play on the fluffiness of quotes of the historical MQ centre. Also, download as much data as possible from the dealing centre and run it through. The result might change. And as Mathemat said, at least show me on the demo how long the strategy has been working and how much profit it brought? It would be desirable to see a chart.
Not that material for testing, ufkef: good for such expected payoffs (1-1.5 points). They are good for strategies with expected payoff being at least 10-15 pips or even more.
Elritmo, what I meant was that a strategy with such a low trade expectation should necessarily be set up for a particular brokerage company. And even in this case the reliability of testing is very doubtful. Let the CC quotes are not combed, but they are obviously filtered somehow, i.e. do not belong to any brokerage company.
I'm doing it now, I'm checking at the same time in several brokerage companies both in real life and on quotes! For those who do not know what it is! This is not just a fancy word that needs to be understood, so if the mathematical expectation is positive, i.e. So, if expected payoff is positive, i.e., >0, then this is a profitable EA, and if it is <0, then it's loss-making. And comparing 10 pips or 1.5 has no mathematical basis! If you say here that an EA with mathematical expectation 30 is more profitable than one with 0.5, I won't agree. For one simple reason. If the second one earns more profit in the same time as the first one, like in 4 hours, it follows that the second one has higher mathematical expectation just by time. If the first one takes 30 points in 4 hours and the second one takes 80 points in 4 hours, then the second one has the expectation higher !!!!!! - but not per trade, but per time!!!! So, I hope you've understood a little bit that you should not throw numbers around without understanding their essence!
