Chris,
> Has anyone personally backtested the files? I am getting quite different results than the ones in the App
I tested the FTMO Robot on the FTMO MT5 to examine the issue you have reported.
The MT5 vs EA Studio backtest differs slightly for the old data, but it is almost equivalent for the newest one.
Here is a backtest comparison for 1 year.
MetaTrader has problem with the spread of exported historical data. I assume they average it in some way. The spread is especially broken for the older data.
Anyway, even even for 5 year period on M15 the count of trades matches and the backtest line shape is pretty close. Most probably the discrepancy comes from the exported spread and from the difference in the Account Exchange Rate. (The strategy works on EURAUD, but the user’s account is in USD. It means that the strategy profit must be converted from AUD to USD. EA Studio and FTMO app use the latest AUDUSD price for the conversion.)
