The Transaction Log shows all trades made by the strategy during the backtest. It is useful to examine the exact entry/exit time and prices and to compare them with a backtest of an exported Expert Advisor in MetaTrader. The EA Studio backtest and the MetaTrader backtest must show very similar results. The main reason for differences might be that either the testing historical data is different from the one the MetaTrader uses or the historical data has a different Time zone. In both cases, you cannot rely on that strategy for real trading.
