			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>There are several reasons for that difference:<br />1. Be sure you use the same data for backtesting in both programs;<br />2. Be sure that the instrument settings are correct (digits, spread, swaps...);<br />3. If the above conditions are met, the indicators have to show the same values in both programs. If there are differences, you have to check the formulas used;<br />4. The strategy logic has to be accurately programmed in MT4;<br />5. FSB uses advanced methods for evaluating the signal conditions. You have to program the same formulas in your expert. You can see the FSB evaluation criteria source codes here: <a href="http://forexsb.com/wiki/indicators/source/indicator">Indicator.cs</a>. These formulas take into account also and the statistical error - Sigma during calculations with &quot;double&quot; numbers.<br />6. FSB uses various methods for bar interpolations (&quot;Pessimistic&quot; is the default one.) but no one knows how MT4 interpolates the bars.<br />7. When correct interpolation is not possible, FSB reports &quot;ambiguous bars&quot;. Here also MT4 behaves like a black box.<br />8. FSB protects the user by setting &quot;Use previous bar value&quot; parameter properly for the indicators depending on the environment. You also have to take care about this in your expert.</p><p>Actually FSB is here to make faster and more reliable backtest than MT. If you have questions about a specific signal or case, please post as much info as you can gather in order to analyse it.</p>]]></content>
