LIVE and Replay Results Different (Spreadsheet Trading System)

I am using a spreadsheet trading system that I developed.

Trade activity results from chart replay and LIVE are different for the same day (e.g. for today, October 15th, there were 2 trades (on micro NQ) that took place on my LIVE account and both lost. Upon replaying today, there are 4 trades reported with 3 winners and 1 loser). Same trading day, same strategy, only difference is one is LIVE/real results and the other is a SIM replay.

Have you encountered an issue like this before? If so, any tips for how to identify the issue?

I have been using Transact for live data, but switched to the Denali data feed yesterday to see if I would have a different result, but the issue is still present. Buy and sell entries are limit orders and Signal Only On Bar Close is enabled.

Thank you for the reply.

I applied the applicable components of the link that you sent:
- Use Controlled Order Chart Updating
- Had all charts replay since multiple charts are referenced
- Tried various replay settings
- "Signal Only on a Bar Close" is already enabled

The SIM back test results are still different from the real-time live results.

We cannot provide further help with this. If you find the back testing functionality does not meet your requirements, then simply do not use it.
