Dear
I created a simple EA with EAWizard based on RSI and a SMA 200, well when I backtested it in the “point of control” mt4 mode it gave me a straight profit line ( No MM), but in the “every tick” mode a straight loosing line, why such differences? I used constant SL and TP.

Hi, EURUSD – 5 Min, I guess the Stoploss was too tight, 1-10 pips, and PT too high, 40 pips. I will test it with other settings, we’ll see.
I attached the EAWizard file
EDIT: I add, I will try to improve TP and TrailS with ATR and other function.

ok i guess the thing is that I thought with 1 pip it was ment a multiple of 10 of one pip in the chart, i think this is not the case as I very oftently get stopped out…

Usually change method of testing would end with totally diffirent results. Try to generate at tick method or realtick (but this takes a very, very much time).
