Aleksej Kravcenko:
Why is the EA showing positive equity growth in the tester, but in real time trades at zero or minus?

Maybe there is a commission? It is not accounted for in MT4, or is it the spread, if it is floating, the tester takes the current value by default, for example 3 and usually 23, or because of ticks modelling... there may be many reasons.

 
Aleksej Kravcenko:
Why is it that in the toaster the EA shows positive capital growth dynamics, but in real time it trades at zero or minus.

Because the EA is written for toaster, not for real trading.

 
Vitaly Muzichenko:

Because the advisor is written for toaster, not real trading.

Why would you write an EA for a toaster?
 
Aleksej Kravcenko:
Why would you write an EA for a tester?

Usually to put it up for sale later, but that's just one option.

Variant 2: you do this because you don't know how the tester works.

 
advise how or where to post an EA development job so it shows up in the freelance section, mam no "add topic" button (sorry for the primitive question).

Look in the top right corner for it.


 
Vitalii Ananev:

Yes, you will need a loop to fill the array if you are reading data from a file.

If you are going to write digits into the array directly in the code, you don't need the loop. You may just write it this way:

double A[10];

A[0] = 1.343;

A[1] = 1.4567; and so on.

or double A[10] = {1.344,1.34354,...... };

Quotes. The quotes are the same in real time, but different on history, for the same period. Look for unchanged quotes. Spread may be different. Check it. Also, be sure to lock the tester out of the internet.
