I have an EA that I've been testing quite a bit on demo accounts. I've found a few sets that work well / very well, but when I put them on my real account, it either doesn't work, or works only half as well or less. I presume others have run into this same issue. How can I change the EA settings to compensate for the difference between demo and real accounts?

Anyways do a bit of troubleshooting
1. is the demo and live account from the same broker?
2. is the demo and live account exact same account type?
3. are you trading large lot sizes? because if you are real market will have larger slippage
4. did you hook the ea on the exact same timeframe?
5. if demo vs live entry is different means it is dependent on when you hook the ea to open orders, obviously it will have different results
