I have observed some of the behavior that you mention with some EA's'.

Some EA's in MT4 exported from FSB produce 8 trades per day , while on MT5 the same EA only produce 1 trade per day  .

I do not know why is this happening , so far I have nothing but study the Phenomena .

It will be good to get some feedback from other users with more experience in these topic.

This topic is very important since it opens the door of effectiveness of FSB in translating EA's to MT4 and Mt5.

The statistics of the EA alone will not be enough to make conclusions, only a complete EA' will allow a comprehensive analysis.

FSB creates wonderful EA's but when transferred to MT4 and MT5, the confidence level may change substantially.

After several searches in the Forum I fond some answers to these topic, but I could not find anything conclusive.

it will be good to post your EA , so the example can  be researched completely.

Thanks all for your responses,

I am still wondering why EA should take different actions on, for example, Live today data and offline tomorrow backtest data, actually the data and price pattern is not changing.
When an EA should take action based on an indicator, anytime the indicator output sends a long/short signal it should take that position. anyway, I attache here the EA, its a very simple EA with two indicators Stochastic and MA crosswover.

I agree with you .
As Mr. Popov points out in the thread there are issues with the EA's : including indicators with exponential or weighted MA , what makes any body exporting an EA to MT5 to be extremely careful in the process , because the probabilities to make a mistake are very high.
- I downladed your EA's and noticed that :
1- you are using exponential and weighted MA.
  2- Try a new EA with defaults only ( since defaults will translate better to MT5)
you can try something like:
