Different results forward testing and back testing
27 Apr 2024, 11:40

This week just gone I've let a cbot run all week with positive results,when back testing the same week the results are massively different 

Can some shed some light has to why ??

All settings within the cbot the same for both tests.

Hi there,

It could be anything e.g. slippage or an issue in your cBot's logic. First of all make sure you are backtesting using tick data. Then compare trades one by one to spot what is the difference (entry price, commissions and swaps, something else?)

Best regards,
