Whether you win your trades or lose, backtesting helps you become a better trader. We all should add it as a part of our trading plan.

Have you ever tried back testing your strategy on different broker terminals? I always back test for minimum of one year and always find that the results are different on different broker terminals. Any of you noticed this before?

As a trader, you should always wait for the backtests result of your strategy before you start trading it. Backtesting a strategy gives you information about the performance of your strategy. The results of backtesting will give you valuable information about how profitable it can be to use that strategy.
