Better yet dont use leverage simple as that.. im not surprised.. im sure many ppl will get screwed.. i offered valuable experience to those who are smart enough to not make a mistake before learning.
Also do not use strategy tester in mt4 it is flawed.. quick way to get a false sense of hope.
Yeah, leverage will screw you totally... I love how some brokers offer as much as 1:500 or even 1:1000 !!!! Those brokers are known as "bucket shops"... I prefer ecn/stp brokers which are the best scenarios for my custom expert advisors... I believe that BTC-E is using an ecn with 5th point precision for their custom MT4 platform... That's pretty good... Here's a link to my most recent statement from the BTC-E metatrader platform with my custom expert advisors:

Also, you're absolutely right about this: Never use the strategy tester for anything... Definitely not to prove an expert advisor's effectiveness....
