Hey mate,
I get your point!
I will try to explain why this happens:
1. FSB Pro open the trades during the bar, and it works on the closing of the bar. That is why you need to use Control Points as modeling.
2. FSB Pro uses higher time frame filters and it includes Indicators that are not available on MetaTrader at all. That is why backtesting on MetaTrader becomes a problem.
Simply MetaTrader cannot catch up with all of the features.
3. FSB Pro has different backtesting models that are not available on MetaTrader as well.
Unfortunately, MetaTrader was not updated for over 20 years. MetaQuotes (the company behind it) has been selling the platform to brokers, and they make money from the big guys. And they don’t think about the retail traders (us) at all.
I hope that makes sense!
So I am using FSB Pro daily, and I do not even test the EAs on MetaTrader, because the MT tester sucks (sorry for the word).
