Why are the results of the strategy tester different from the result on your real account?
My real account has existed for more than 3 years. In this account,
I tested all versions of my expert from the initial release to the last.
Every time I post an update, I also update the expert on my real account.
Each update is done to improve the profitability of my trading robot.
The results can not be the same.
They are always different.
This is forex. Forex market is a 100% risk of losing all your money on the account.
