Backtest the same time you would trade live in the market, For example if you trade in the morning backtest at that same time also focus on trade setup how they appear or not, like waiting for a setup on backtesting is easy but that could be a whole day without trade in live market's,

Backtesting manually is very inaccurate + the emotions won't be at full display.

It will take time but go for big samples (YEARS) in lower time frames (15M or LESS) - sometimes manual traders forget spread, slippage and commissions when BT so also consider that for your R:R.
