Hello traderfolife777,
Thanks for posting today.
This can occur since one is a simulation account and the other is not.
Since the simulation account bases its entries and exits on simulation data you may have not a fill that occurred the same as the live account. The simulator will never be able to replicate with 100 accuracy what the live market will do. The simulator uses an algorithm to try and randomize the data when a order is placed.
For more information refer to the links below.
