Every Tick Vs Tick Based on Real Ticks
‘Every tick based on real ticks’ is the more accurate mode, because it uses actual historical tick data from your broker.
If your EA performs well on ‘Every tick’ but poorly on real ticks, it usually means the strategy is sensitive to how ticks are generated (spread, trade execution). The ‘Every tick’ mode simulates ticks, which can sometimes make results look smoother or better than reality.

Which is more accurate to test historical data? I have an EA that works well on Every Tick only and limited live testing seems to reflect that. But for Real Ticks, I get bad results. Any ideas?
