It seems that when I run the same backtest (with the same conditions) at different times,
I get different results.

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Thanks.

Hi Artisticmagic,

This is possible if you have your spread in the Strategy Tester set to "current". This means the spread used during the back-test will be the current spread of your broker which could change between back-tests. To resolve this issue, simple set an explicit number for your spread and your results should remain consistent.

You can refer to this topic for a little more background on this topic:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Actually, I have the spread set to an explicit value.
I've reinstalled MT4, so I will see if this issue persists.

Thank you for your reply.

Hi,

After reinstalling MT4, everything seems okay now.
I have no idea what was wrong.
