Many reasons:
-spread can change ( in strategy tester i think it s constant)

-delay of order execution ( did you set execution delay in the startegy testetr?

-didi you check quality of back test? often it s around 97%....

I read an old post that said the spread in strategy tester was in points not pips. I do not know how to set execution delay. The quality usually is around 90%

Happens all the time.

Just disregard the test results.

Forward testing is the best
