For one, no RM backtesting takes the swap  charges into account and they may amount to quite a lot with the long held positions. So overall the system may be less effective than the tests show.

Absolutely agree,
Since, right now, we are facing negative swap with AUDNZD, it is going to hit our profit hard in the future for those trades that stay in-play many months. We can, as Pipcop has mentioned, activate a setting (I have not done this) which will supposedly compensate for the swap but this setting has to be active when the trade opens.
Along with the rollover charges there is also periods of high DD which locks out money that could be used.
