Topic: Performance of Expert Advisors on Small Capital Accounts

I have experienced that a EA worked excellent on an demo account with 50.000 USD. But when using the same EA on a real live account with same leverage as demo account, using a small amount of money, f. ex. 200 USD and small micro-lots. Then the EA did not perform well. I do suspect that my EA works best with a strong momentum.

Do any of you guys had similar experiences? What do think is the explanation?


Happy trading

I'm new to using FSB but from watching Popov's video's I have learned that demo accounts use different servers than do live accounts and therefore the results will be different.  Also I think that the demo account should be the same size as the account you are going to be trading live so that the lot sizes used will affect trading in the same way.  Therefore once you have tested on a demo account the EA's should be retested in FSB using the symbol data imported from the live trading account trading platform.  My thoughts...
