Exactly.Why in the world would anyone want to disclose publicly a profitable EA when the deep pockets could/would trade against them.[/quote]

The point of my post was to show that many traders fall for the trick of the backtest.

A backtest is to help you check the entry and exit if they were coded right or not.

A good backtest results doesn't mean the expert is profitable, it only means the expert may have a chance in live trading.
Well backtesting is the step 1 to see if it has some sort of chance with the real stuff so necessary in that respect as you noted.I might add that most EA`s are profitable at some stage but lack consistency, which is what we all seek with them.
