It has come to my attention after trying a few commercial expert advisors and finding that they don't really match past performance that some vendors actually have the backtest settings hard coded inside the code and have them change on certain dates (all done internally) to make the backtest look good but on forward testing obviously unlikely to work.
I have been told of 3 that do this (I won't publish here as its 2nd hand info), has anyone come across this and have first hand information as to who does it. This would constitute fraud in my mind and make me nervous about any EA advertised!!
