Targets different on backtest and live
17 Feb 2024, 05:32
Guys here are results from my backtests on one of my bots using limit orders with a target of 1 pip but on backtest all of the orders complete up to a target result of 10 pips. I don't think that this is due to slipage. These backtest results also were not in visual mode.
The target pips for my limit orders is only 1 pip and on live the winning orders are around the 1 pip amount. But on the backtesting the limit orders take much more than that. This might be caused by there being a lot less data on backtesting than on live?

So sorry mate its very very simple, my limit order target pips for my bot is 1 pip and when I run the bot live I usually get around 1 pip successful trade results. However I also get more losing trades in terms of amounts than winners so the bots lose. But on backtest I never get the 1 pip target but usually get 4 pips of more and get a lot more winners than losers!

Best regards,
