Topic: Backtest of EAStudio differ from MT5

Hi!

I downloaded the price data from my FTMO MT5 to the EAStudio
with spread of 10 points (the typical spread is 2-5 points- EURUSD)
then created strategies - optimized for 2016-2025
the good ones i (bactested on MT5 for the first months of 2026, and then) backtested on MT5 for 2016- 2025
usually number of trades is similar, but the results many times very different

Who can explain? Which of them is right?

Regards,
Avraham

Re: Backtest of EAStudio differ from MT5

I assume both a corect (in their way of computation).

The most important for you is the backtest in MetaTrader 5 with Real ticks.
