Live trade showing different result compared to backtest

Tanmoy

Sharing the screenshot below , the entry and exit for 45300 CE is completely different in the backtest result compared to Live trade. I am using candle close in execution setting. Can you elaborate the reason why?

Hi @Tanmoy, please note that there is no built-in slippage included in backtesting. However, in live trading, slippage may occur, causing your entry price to vary.

So wrost result shown by ALGO TEST.....

All function working in very wrong manner which make loss
Not capturing any movement as function....SELECT ONLY WHEN ALGO WANTS YOU TO GOES IN LOSS

ALGO TEST BANK TESTING SHOWS HIGHER GAIN
FOR SAME STRATEGY LIVE FUTURE TESTING SHOWS RESULT AS HALF AS SHOWN IN BACK TEST
& IN LIVE TRADE IT SHOWS AVG OR 100RS PROFIT OR LESS THAN 0 .......WHICH HAS NO LIMIT

Hi @sushiljp1202
It is important to understand that backtesting involves simulating a trading strategy using historical data, while forward testing involves simulating it using live data. On the other hand, live trading involves actually executing trades in real market conditions. As a result, there are bound to be differences between the simulation and live trading results. It is important to be aware of these differences and adjust your trading strategy accordingly to improve your results.
