Why Your Backtests Lie – And How to Fix It

Have you ever built a strategy that looked amazing in backtests… only to lose money in live trading?

The problem might not be your strategy at all.
The real culprit? Your data.

Different brokers show different prices, timezones can completely shift your candles, and Daylight Saving Time can silently mess up your signals. Even the type of data you use — tick vs. minute — can decide whether your system looks profitable or not.

👉 In our new video, we break down:

  • Why broker data is never the same

  • How timezones and DST change your charts

  • The truth about tick data vs. minute data

  • And the most important rule every trader must follow before going live

If you’re serious about trading, you can’t afford to ignore this. Your backtest results are only as good as the data behind them.
