An expert advisor will show the correct signals and alerts, but if
you are trying to compare several systems to find the most
profitable one, the system tester can give flawed results.
Every trade should be calculated to show the net profit, but if the
system tester ignores certain trades then the resulting tests are
skewed and are now deemed useless!!!
You are better off eyeballing the experts on a chart than using the
Enhanced System Tester.
