			<description><![CDATA[<p>&gt; Does the Strategy Tester use the commission?</p><p>EA Studio uses commission, for sure. Regarding the MetaTrader&#039;s Tester - nothing is sure.</p><br /><p>&gt; If I remove the commission from the symbol in EA Studio, the end price of both EA Studio and the Strategy Tester are similar.</p><p>The commission can be applied &quot;per side&quot; (both at Open and Cose) or at Close only.<br />It can be of a fixed amount or per round lot.</p><p>Please check various variants and see what makes sense in your case.<br />Your broker&#039;s website must list commission information (however, we never know what the MT Tester is doing).</p><p>Having a Balance curve shape similar to EA Studio and MT Tester is enough to guarantee the correctness of the backtest.</p><p>I also struggle to receive the exact results. Sometimes I cannot figure out how the MT calculates a simple position that enters at Bar Open and exits at the next Bar Open with perfectly known prices and fixed spread.</p><br /><p>&gt; Also, I notice in your Strategy Tester that it only shows&nbsp; balance line, whereas in my Strategy Tester, it shows the balance/equity line.</p><p>This depends on the strategy. </p><p>If a strategy keeps the positions open for a short time, the Balance line and the Equity line overlap.</p><p>If a strategy keeps the position open for a long time, the Balance line is a horizontal line from the Open price until the bar before the closing. The Balance will jump to the closing price at the closing bar.</p><p>On the other hand, the Equity line is calculated from the floating profit/loss at every bar. <br />It may significantly deviate from the balance line and will be visible.</p><p>The Equity line is more fluid. That&#039;s why we calculate the Drawdown metrics on the Equity line.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello Alan,</p><p>There is nothing special.</p><p>Import data from your broker to EA Studio.</p><p>You only have to pay attention to the Commission because it cannot be exported from the Data Export script.</p><p>When you test the expert in the MetaTrader tester, set the &quot;Use date: From, To&quot; to match the&nbsp; EA Studio data.</p><p>I&#039;m using the Control points for testing. However, Open Price only works the same way.</p><p>Please see here a very close backtest for a single Expert Advisor:</p><p><a href="https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/test-mt-eas-expert-balance-match-almost-perfectly.png"><span class="postimg"><img src="https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/test-mt-eas-expert-balance-match-almost-perfectly-thumb.png" alt="https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/test-mt-eas-expert-balance-match-almost-perfectly-thumb.png" /></span></a></p><br /><p>This is a Portfolio Expert Test.</p><p><a href="https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/test-mt-eas-portfolio-balance-match.png"><span class="postimg"><img src="https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/test-mt-eas-portfolio-balance-match-thumb.png" alt="https://image-holder.forexsb.com/store/test-mt-eas-portfolio-balance-match-thumb.png" /></span></a></p><p>To be even more precise, you may disable the indicators based on Exponential Moving Average.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>One of the claims of EA Studio is as follows: &quot;The exported EAs show the same or very near results tested with the MT&#039;s strategy tester.&quot;</p><p>Is there a video describing how to make this comparison?</p>]]></description>
