Same strategy, same settings but better results in replay mode

Attached is a video of my testing a strat on replay and using the backtest on SC for the same strategy and settings. However, I obtain a different P/L over the same day. Does anyone know why? The primary reason why this is of my concern is replay basically is slow to test a year worth of data. If the backtest is inherently inaccurate, is there a study on the variance of backtest p/l over the number of trades over the actual result?

Refer to: Auto Trade System Back Testing: Differences Between Back Testing and Real-Time Auto Trade System Evaluation is there a study on the variance of backtest p/l over the number of trades over the actual result? No.

Is there a reason why it'll give different results?

Yes. The documentation does explain the reasons.
