EA works on real but fail on backtest?
Is it possible? made my idea and backtest always give poor or negative results
But on a real account it always challenge me with every loss I say "failed on backtest and now is time to break on real" but seems challenging me to not break, and after every loss it start making winnings again until recover and go further
Am just curious how a system fail on backtest and do well on real trading!!
Raw Code Optimization and Tweaking for Improving Back-Test Results
Hlomohang John Borotho, 2025.05.09 11:55
Enhance your MQL5 code by optimizing logic, refining calculations, and reducing execution time to improve back-test accuracy. Fine-tune parameters, optimize loops, and eliminate inefficiencies for better performance.the goal is not to optimize the code for backtesting, I know the code may make backtest unreliable
What I mean is, the same code that fail to show good results in backtest*which is just one thing to consider when trading a system live) this code do well on live trading
if the code do not show good results in backtest and raw code without optimization, the same code should break also on real trading
this is the point

The point of the Article to which I linked in Post #1 is: "By combining structural code refinement, performance-aware functions, and indicator optimization, we can drastically improve both the quality and speed of back-testing—bringing us closer to a consistently profitable and deployable strategy." If you don't want to backtest accurately, then simply don't read the Article... nor this Blog: Not All 99% Backtests Are Equal: How Tick Data Quality Impacts Your Strategy in MetaTrader 5 - Analytics & Forecasts - 15 July 2025 - Traders' Blogs.
In other words, your code and your settings may make backtest unreliable.
