Well Jack, I don't think you came to the right place looking for
sympathy (except for Mark of course - he's a well known softie. :-)

Without knowing anything about your system, I seriously doubt that a 1
minute error in the timestamp of your backtest data is the root cause of
your problems. Let me take a wild guess. Your system uses the built-in
TS stops right? I wish I had a nickel for every person who thought he
had found the holy grail scalping system using that crap and proceeded
to lose money realtime.

Consider it tuition in your quest to learn to be a trader. Next time,
when you think you have the holy grail, try paper trading it for a while
before you put real money on the line. If this stuff was easy, anybody
could do it.
