Well, I am finding out if a backtest gets near to a forward experience.

I know that backtests and forward experience have substantial differences, but aren't they the least reliable?

Thinking that MT4 really improved the Strategy Tester accuracy in comparison to MT3, isn't the backtests we do at least good sources of data on building our strategies with EAs?

Btw, which thread is that about Backtest total discrepancy with real results??
