Market regime dependence: What works in trending markets may fail in ranging ones, and vice versa. An indicator's performance can vary widely depending on time frame, volatility, economic news, etc.

However, the same study noted large drawdowns (20-30%) and emphasized that using indicators alone is often not enough — combining them is usually better.

According to one Babypips analysis, over the past 5 years, the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator performed the best when used alone, yielding about 30-35% total profit (~6% per year), while many other common indicators showed negative returns.

It depends on several factors. Your broker, experience level, the type of code your ea runs.etc. If you can demo for a long time on an ECCN broker to see how the ea runs, you could succeed on live.
