You can find the logs in the “algo” tab:

I'm not sure how you expect anyone to help you otherwise when you haven't posted any screen captures showing your back-testing settings, or describing what your back-testing settings are.

you should also post your code logic so people can see what may be going on.

You would expect a mathematical formula to be the same (Idempotency or return a null) between live and back testing

Upon further analysis - 

I removed the faulty indicator and built my own. My stats are now identical between back testing and live

What i have noticed is that back testing will “fill” everything while live does not and it often misses take profit targets 🤷 *mystery solved. (so always take your back testing results with a big grain of salt)
