This would not be surprising. Running a back test is going to simulate real-time updating of the chart and a trading system is going to function differently compared with the buy/sell arrows which are generated based on current formula results and completed bars. The back test results are what you should actually be relying on.

You might also want to use an Intraday chart instead of a Historical Daily bar chart.

We cannot provide more of an explanation than that for the reasons explained here:
