Why are my backtests results so very different from my live results. I am using 1 tick setting, and wait til bar closes. This is insane how different the results are. Even when I did a replay, at the slowest speed, backtest had great results, but live results are horrible. What's going on? Thanks

Are you using bid ask data in your backtests, or just last price traded? If your backtests are profitable, the next step is to try your system in a LIVE SIM environment, where your trades use the LIVE feed, but don't go to the market. Should that be profitable, then go try the real LIVE market with the lowest contract size that you found profitable in SIM or backtests. Good luck. |

I'm using bid, ask, and last price traded. I have tried in LIVE sim, it fails and doesn't trade like it does in back tests. Why would this happen? It's very misleading...
