Difference in back test results between Lite and Standard version
Posted: Fri May 14, 2021 7:07 am
Hello everyone,
I have been trading for 1 year on a demo account and a few months ago I decided to create an EA and test it with Tickstory data.
I initially downloaded the Lite (free) version of Tickstory with historical data for 1 year and optimized my strategy according to this data.
Then I decided to download the Standard version (paid).
During the back test, related to the same time period of 1 year, I found a huge difference in the results.
With the data of the Lite version, in my strategy I had reached a profit factor of 1.77 while with the data of the Standard version I get a Profit Factor of 1.16!!!
Why is there this difference in results between one version and another using the same strategy in the same period?
Have you ever encountered this problem?
Is it my error or the data of the Lite version (free) are different from the Standard version (paid).
Thank you
Jeanclaude
