I suggest replaying some of the winning trades at speed = 1, to see if they get the same result. Also re-test some losing trades. You might also try doing some forward testing with a live (simulated or paper money) account. This will give more realistic trading conditions. There is a delay from when the market does something until you receive it, and there is another delay for your trading decision to get back to the exchange. Backtesting has its own inherent delays, but it is hard to say if they are realistic. There may be more ideal conditions in backtesting than in forward testing.
