Post From: sim (becktest) vs. live real time

i wanted to ask, how it is possible that there are such significant differences between real-time live automatic trading based on ACSIL and sim bactest results of the same AOS?

for example on Friday, a simple script based on price action was set to do real-time trading (written in ACSIL) and it did not take a trade that it was supposed to take according to the condition written in the code.

i did a sim backtest of the same day with the same AOS and it did take the particular trade.

the question is - how it is possible that in backtest it takes a trade and in realtime live it does not - when it is completely the same code??

if it works like this, then all the coding and bactesting of an aos strategy is a complete waste of time.

i understand that there might be some slippage or that a simulation environment is slightly difeerent ets.. something like this, but i dont understand why it does not take a trade when the condition is met.. and in sim beckest mod it takes it with no problem

can you explain please?
