EA works in backtest but not in reality

sirriess 2023.05.15 16:18

Hey

i developed an EA - it opens very much orders. 100 and more per day.

I made there specific parameters for TP and SL. After some pips Profit it trails the SL to BE and then like a normal trailing stop.

In the backtests it works perfect. When i do it on a live account the trailing system doesn't work.

where can be the problem? what could i do? is is because of the 100 orders and it is too much for MT5?

best regards

Sören

If you need help with your code, then you will have to show your code. We cannot read your mind nor see your computer.

Also check your logs (Journal and Experts) for errors.

i don't think that the code is necessary. The code works. it works in the strategy tester and life. Just the trailing not in the live account

Then you need to fix your code by yourself. Use MetaEditor's debugger or "print" details to the Experts log to see where your code is malfunctioning.
