General EA Backtest result (Vs) EA Live Market Result

[shanmugapradeep]

Hello,

I have always wondered why the backtest results of an EA differ from its live market results. Throughout my trading experience, I have tested thousands of EAs in both backtest and live market conditions. While most EAs yield impressive results in backtests, they often result in losses when applied to the live market, whether with a demo or real account.

Even when I test with a modeling quality of 99% or higher during backtesting, the EA tends to fail in the live market. Why does this discrepancy occur?

This occurs because the makers want their ea look good. Some ea's can even look in the data ahead so the results are always good. The if you test it with real money you loose it all.

Yes correct. Never trust a backtest only a real account. MQL5 market is full scammers with backtest without real account.
