You just have different historical data than I do. Your test was run on a different server. This is why I said take it for what it's worth. (which probably isn't much)
The strategy tester is a nice tool to use, but not reliable. How else do you explain 2 separate tests run with the same parameters with such different results?
The strategy tester is great to see if an EA is running properly, and to help zero in on the proper external variables to use. Unfortunately, that is probably all it's good for.
