Differences between backtested and live results

Hi,

I used to have similar results between my backtested and live trading, but not on my last strategies.

On the previous ones, I had a “once the bar is closed” if statement so I only place one trade at the end of each minute if the conditions are met, and I got rid of that to be more precise on the time of entries.

Do you think this might cause the issue?
If so, how can I fix it?
Please don’t refer me to the “Differences with backtesting and live” page that I already checked :)

Many thanks in advance.
BR,
Matt

Whether that is the cause or not, is hard to say. From our perspective it is very hard for us to answer these kinds of questions for all of the reasons we explain here:

We did add a new Replay Mode in the latest version which is going to be similar to real-time updating:

It is named: Calculate Same as Real Time
