Hello,
I have always wondered why the backtest results of an EA differ from its live market results. Throughout my trading experience, I have tested thousands of EAs in both backtest and live market conditions. While most EAs yield impressive results in backtests, they often result in losses when applied to the live market, whether with a demo or real account.
Even when I test with a modeling quality of 99% or higher during backtesting, the EA tends to fail in the live market. Why does this discrepancy occur?
