Hi all,
i would like to ask if someone have the same strange behaviuor as mine. I did an EA which act very good in backtest (i did all the possible backtest from 1 day up to 4 years). the question is the following:

1. I let the EA running from midnight to 11AM and it does some trades
2. I run backtest intraday (so it runs from midnight till current time)

I see difference between the trade excuted from the EA and the backtest. Can someone explain me where can be the problem?
Here the backtesting parameters:

Intraday, Ticks, Bid,Process all ticks

Thanks in advance

I also had the same experience.
It was because processing time is delayed with the onBar function.
Timing is behind the back test.
