Yes it is worthless to use on real accounts based solely on backtests.

If you are a developer or learner ,it gives a good idea of the strategy/system tested.There is some good information on the strategy tester report and it is important to correctly use the information.Example

A system may show a win rate of 80% , but any system will show high win rates if stops are 100 pips away and take profits are small like 10 pips
