Unhappy Backtesting

Hi, everybody.

I'm new to this forum and english is not my native language.

First of all I would to congratulate you for the high quality of the posts. Not common in other forums I have visited.

I'm playing forex and coding EA for some months.

My main trouble is why I get so higher profits (even +1000%/month) when backtesting my EA than on live? I have tried many different strategies and none result noticeable while terrific at backtest.

Support says that backtester uses just OHLC data but that is not true as I see price changing within the bar on strategy tester. By the way, I use Metatrader 3.83 build 6231 from InterbankFX.

Can anybody be of help?

Thanks in advance

Renato
