-The chart shows the balance line and the equity lines produced by the backtest.+The Journal panel displays all of the trades that are part of the strategy'backtest. You can see the exact time and price at which the trades were opened or closed.
  
-===== Transactions log =====+{{:eas-guide:forex-strategy-report-jorunal.png?nolink&800|}}
  
 +Then you can compare the information with a backtest of the same Expert Advisor, but this time in MetaTrader. The backtest results between the EA Studio and the MetaTrader platform should be almost equal.
  
-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+If the two backtests do not match, this can be due to using different historical data or not using the same time zone for this dataIf this is the reasonthen you should not use the Expert Advisor in a real account, but perform a proper backtest.
  
 Additionally, please note that if a strategy is over-optimized, even the smallest difference in the data or in the trading conditions will create very different results. Additionally, please note that if a strategy is over-optimized, even the smallest difference in the data or in the trading conditions will create very different results.
