USE EVERY TICK

Backtester only gives you a basic idea of how the EA will perform, great for making sure your code runs properly. Long forward testing is the only way to really determine how your EA will perform.

Control points don't take into account every pip that your currency hits, therefore you will not get a somewhat accurate result as to how your EA will perform.
