Or does EA studio automatically account for this

If we find a bug, we will fix it immediately.  A possible place for a mistake is the exact setting of the MQL indicator parameters.

I say that this is possible because we cannot test it within EA Studio. Such a bug can be found only if the MT indicator shows different results on the same data set and settings.

I would only add that the TP is not your best friend.

There's no hard rule how much apart they should be, it depends. If you really want to know exact number, then construct such a strategy and use your own data and start making the gap between TP and SL smaller and smaller incrementally. While doing so, pay attention to the backtest quality metric. If you have a significant drop in that number, you can formulate your exact measurement. But that applies only in those given conditions, only in that data set. New data needs new calibration, if you wish to do so.

EA Studio always touches the SL in that case - "Account protective algorythm". The purpose is to prevent showing overestimated results.
EA Studio shows Backtest Quality lower than 100% in such cases.

When you test / trade such strategy, it will always show higher result because it will touch TP in some cases.

ok I understand..
If you would guess, for eg EURUSD M5, how much apart should the TP and SL be without messing up the EA Studio backtest?

i sent you a private message also. I have checked all the big cross. The results of EA Studio and of Mt4 T. are the same for every cross with JPY. EURJPY, USDJPY and AUDJPY.

They are different instead for every timeframe for all the others cross.

If you have your data correctly imported in EA Studio, the strategy must show very near results in EA Studio and in MT. You may have a difference if you use near SL and TP.

If you find a difference between MT and EA Studio, please examine the data and the deals. If there is a difference, please report. Please attach the expert and screenshots that show the exact deal that differs. I'm sure we will find the reason and if it is a bug, we will fix it immediately.

I too, have a difference with live trade results and EA Studio backtest, they dont correlate sometimes.
"You may have a difference if you use near SL and TP."
What is near in this case?

sorry to disturb you again.

So it is possible that the same strategy gives you completely different results in EA Studio from Mt4 tester, right?

On USDJPY it never happens

thank you!!
