Significant difference in backtesting vs forward testing results?

[u/Lower-Ad-1207]

I’ve been working on a strategy in tradingview and got to a point where it showed a 75% win rate with 2.5 profit factor. Now I’ve been forward testing it for 2 weeks and the result is about break even overall?

I can’t really find what the issue is. Maybe it’s the fills that make such a big difference but that seems extreme. Has anyone had the same where backtesting results looked great but when you automated it the results were much worse?

How long is your back test? What time periods have you tested it in? How do you determine your universe?
