Post From: Replay / Back Test

I am using an automated system based on Excel formulas (moving average crossovers, bollinger band with stops). I am back testing over a 5 1/2 year period. When I back test a formula, I am getting very good numbers on the "Trade Statistics" tab of the "Trade Activity Log", but when I let the automated system trade on live data, I am getting very, very bad results. Why the difference? What am I doing wrong? Many Thanks
