Accurate Back Test doesn't correlate with live trade

My spreadsheet made some trades on during live mode, but when I went to backtest it, those trades did not trigger? I was using the 'Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode'. Is there any reason why this would happen?

>>>Update: When I changed the Processing Steps in Seconds from 60 to 1, then it was like the live trade. It also seemed that 5 worked, but 10 didn't work... what is this setting? <<<
