Beautiful backtesting and account explosions do not contradict each other. Where EA backtesting lies:
- Low-quality tick data — Actual spreads/slippage erase the “perfect” results.
- Optimization for the entire period — No off-sample testing.
- Few trades — A few lucky wins are not an edge.
- Ignore the drawdown timing — -40% of the month will ruin you, even if the year is green.
