Can I trust the results?

Short
COINBASE:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
Which results are the most accurate or "true"? The one from the Bar Replay feature or the one given when a strategy is added to a chart?
I am still fairly new at TradingView and I learned about the Bar Replay feature today. But I also learned that the result from the feature and the result from the same strategy, once initially added to the chart, are not the same!
I tested this on several other public strategies and the behaviour is the same - different results!
So which one to trust? (if any of them?)

The results from the chart initially given is posted below in this idea. And as you can see the stats are:
- 22.29% net profit
- 12 trades
- 91.67 accuracy

The results from the Bar Replay, when I run it through the same time peroid, looks like this:
- 18.97 net profit
- 12 trades
- 75% accuracy

In this example the difference might not seem that great but looking closely I can see that the signal is emitted a candle later than the one shown in the strategy image.

I hope you guys/girls have any experience or knowledge to share!
Thanks in advance.
