Hi,
I'm looking for an explanation about how (StrategyTester) work.
I have this EA with a precise setup, let's call it "x". That setup give a lost of -2208 pips in 2008 (1 january 2008 to 31 december 2008).
If I make the EA (buy instead of sell & sell instead of buy) the setup "x" for the very same period have a profit of only +340 pips.
Important: the TP & SL are the very same and "StrategyTester" does not take in count spread.
The question is, how come I don't have the very same amount of pips since the setup is the very same?
Same thing for 2009.
No inversion = -1659
With the inversion = +88
Still for 2009 but another pair.
No inversion = -2454
With inversion = -193
Once again, all I did is reverse order... So, at the end, what can explan this huge difference?
Thanks
