Excluding the 4 items below, will the "Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode" feature show the exact results an automated trading strategy built in ACSIL would have had if it had been traded live over the data being backtested?

1. Execution latency.
2. Slippage.
3. The possibility of an order not being filled.
4. Potential market impact/reactions the trading strategy may have caused.

Thanks!

No, it will not. Really this is just impossible to get an exact match.
