that is normal behavior. Due to many reasons that have been discussed in this forum and many times over the years, results can be very different between broker to broker, and even 2 people on the same broker, 1 can blow up their account, while a 2nd user on same broker can make millions.

But as Sergey said, the method that is widely considered to be most reliable and closest to real, past performance results, is via the method he mentioned. But make sure that you run the strategy tester on the same server that you are planning to run your ea on, ie a live account. As some brokers modify their data on their demo servers, or some others do not copy their live data to demo server, but use same data as on the mq demo, which is always broken and very unrealistic.

I would really love to see a new feature in which developers/sellers can allow users to test their EA's live on demo accounts instead of just in the backtest.

Thankx everyone for the response ... As classical sucess said one should find a feature to test the ea in demo live quotes ... 

Only reason is many of the developer / seller manipulate backrest data and sell their product ... Which ultimately hits us very hard
