Back testing results

How "true" do you find back-testing reults with real-time results?

Presently i am using Ameritrades strategy desk and the backtesting is relying upon 1 , 5, 10 30, 60, daily or weekly data but the auto-trading is using tick data.

In other words the backtester cannot obtain tick data as auto-trading does.

Thank you in advance,
