I had a lot of issues like this, forexflexea is a reputable one that’s probably the only one I’d ever pick, it costs though

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well I never actually coded an Ea but I’ve gotten a lot of mixed results before so I just stopped digging because of different symbols and dates & money management
, if it so happens the results are too good to be true that’s what I would recommend,
Spread test , slippage test, news test, different pairs and dates , all things that can affect the outcomes
I would just demo account maybe 4 pairs for a month but I haven’t been around eas in a while you probably have more information then I do
