Backtesting Problem

Hello!
Im a newbie, and i've been backtesting some diferent EAs.
Just today i noticed that testing one EA with the same settings on two diferent computers gives me two completely different results.

Im backtesting them using MT4.

Anyone knows if this is a comon thing or what could be the main reason for this?

Im backtesting on daily TF on one year.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Different results are due to different data. You have to download and import historical data on both computers and you should get the same results. Demo data is incomplete. You must use the same broker on both PCs.

There are some threads on this forum where you can find more info on how to import acurate data. You can search those threads.

Bye.

Because modelling quality is different.
Should be 90%.
