USDJPY
Backtested the same breakout rule on five years and it printed. Ran it live for six weeks against a real spread and it did not. Writing up the difference, because the difference is the whole lesson.

Six weeks is short. What did the spread cost you per trade, roughly?
Enough that the edge went from positive to negative without a single rule changing.
This is the part backtests cannot teach and the only part that ends accounts.
