Test results in MT4 are different from strategies generated in SQ?

Dear people, I have had the problem for some time now that when I download forex data from Dukascopy and develop a strategy with SQ, the results are completely different when I test them on my broker’s MT4 platform.The strategies are also created extremely quickly by SQ and always with very high profit generation. It always seems to be a factor of 10+ of what is actually realistic.When I backtest the strategies on my MT4 platform, the results are completely poor.In general, I have never really had trouble with this problem, and the results from SQ always matched my MT4 test.Since I got the new update from SQ, I’ve been having this problem constantly and I can no longer create a reliable strategy.How can this be? Does it have something to do with the currency decimals? Or do I have a certain setting wrong? If anyone knows, please let me know what I’m doing wrong.

greetings,

Arthur S Netherlands

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
