    Hi there,

    You may get discrepancies between Birt’s Tick Data Suite and Tickstory if you are using variable vs fixed spread. If you are using a scalper, it may well be very sensitive to spread and therefore showing you favourable results when testing with say 1 pip fixed spread. You should try a few back-test variations to increase the fixed spread to see if your EA’s performance degrades.

    Hope this helps.
