"Run Single Test" No Longer Matches Forward Test Results
- Strategy optimization result do not match single run test result
- Petit Pip Eater
- Big gap between forward result and simulation result
1. any update of mt and windows can cause data corruptions and/or fragmentation of the data. This is cause of most of these issues in past. to defrag your data, just copy your test folder to some other drive or folder; different drive is better, delete the original data and then copy the data back to original folder. This will be much faster method to defrag your files, then using a defrag program.
2. after every 2nd or 3rd update I will always delete the test folder and download all my data fresh as a rule.
3. But i am having many issues with strategy tester with the last 2 updates, so I doubt that it is anything that you have done, however, rather than trying to downgrade your mt to older version, because there is only matter of time before it updates itelf again, once you connect to the internet again, it will update itself.
4. There is an unofficial telegram channel hosted by a mt user that hosts older versions of mt4/5. He has a profile of his own on this site, but i dont have the link on hand. But i am sure that you will find it with a search of this site or google.
5.imo it will be easier and faster to roll back your ea changes than to run thru the hassle of downgrading mt5, disconnected the web, so that mt5 does not update itself again.

sorry for late reply. For some reason my post above does not appear in my messages; therefore i wasnt aware that you had responded.
i do not do forward tests, so I do not have an opinion or much of experience with forward testing, however, i am guessing that the pairs that there is a clear difference between the history and forward tests, might show that strategy may not be stable on that/those pairs. While the other pairs, the strategy should only used on.
and since i do not have much experience with forward testing, then, i am sorry but i can not even make a guess to your last comment/question regarding the trades not appearing on the chart. However, i guess it might make sense as it is a forward test, therefore it makes possible sense that no trade icon would be placed because that time period hasnt happend yet.
