Hello JLSwin,

There can be differences, especially if 1-tick intra-bar granularity is not implemented.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates how to find what is causing differences.

Comparing real-time, historical, and replay performance - NinjaTrader Support Forum

Citizens of the NinjaTrader Community, A common question we hear from clients is 'why are results from backtest different from real-time or from market replay?'. Live orders are filled on an exchange with a trading partner on an agreed upon price based on market dynamics. Backtest orders are not using these market dynamics.
