Default Backtesting ?

Has anyone ever run into a problem when trying to back test a system where the charts don't match. I have went back in my program as far as I can to try and backtest a system so that I can get a better idea of exit points. When I get back as far as the chart will go and get both charts on the same time frame, the price is off almost 200 pips. How can that be possible? Please don't say I got the time wrong as I have followed the charts forward from the previous day candle by candle. I am using Dealbook 360 software. I am on a 15 minute chart and a 5 minute chart of Euro/Usd starting on 9/19/2008 because my five minute chart wont go back any farther. Time on the 5 minute is 11:35 am. Can someone take a look at that time frame and let me know if they find any discrepancy between the 5min chart and 15minute chart in price. If you do find it can you tell me any possible reasons why this could be so? Thanks in advance for your input. Happy Trading, Raven
