Back Testing

I am back testing an automated trading system on various currency pairs. I get good results with the back testing, but very poor results with everyday trading. I set "Simulation Fills Source" to "Replay/Back Test Fills" when I do my back testing. I back test over a six (6) year period. After back testing, I switch the "Simulation Fills Source" back to either "All Fills" or "Simulation Fills" for my everyday trading. Am I doing something wrong or am I overlooking something? Many Thanks

You are not doing anything wrong with the Simulation Fills Source setting. The way you are setting that, is correct.
