I have also mentioned the same on my Patreon page, I did live trading more than a year back, but ended up in losses, it is always advised to run dry-run (paper money) for min 5-8 months and after watching the behaviour of strategy in upward, down trend and side way market, based on it, then only can take risk of investing real money. Backtest results of this or any other assets (commodity, forex, equity, options, futures) will always show far higher than actual returns, but few of the bots of mine were able to produce 9-20% per month , but they again failed after 3-5 months after running successful. Deep research on the same is still running as of now, most likely will crack the issues mentioned above.
