Different replay results at two SC-Installations - why?

Hello SC team,

I have an “Alert based trading system” running in replay mode. The take profit is placed as a limit order.
On the same computer I have 2 SC installations, which I have updated to the same version. The same chartbook, the same setting, the same replay speed give different results on the 2 SC installations.
The limit order is executed later on one installation. How can this be? And how can you rely on replay tests to correspond to reality in real time ?
With such a behavior no reliable backtests are possible....
What is the problem here ? And how can it be fixed ?

There must be something different in the charts or the trading system that is causing the difference.

If you re-run the replay on a single installation do you get the same result (which you should)?
