Hello, People

I were used EA with $1000 in demo account to process the forwards evaluation and back evaluation in September October. Under: *All exact same EA setting and same broker.
Back evaluation: Balance $1010 ( 1%)
Forward test: Balance $1500 ( 50%)

I believe usually the back evaluation result must better than forward evaluation, because back evaluation is at excellent atmosphere. But forward evaluation is in non-perfect scenario like time delay, slippage, server service bankrupt, etc..

So, I don't why my forwards evaluation is much better than back evaluation. Does in your testing forward and back evaluation which is forward evaluation better than evaluation?? Please advise.
