[amibroker] Walk Forward Result Not Accurate?

I seem to have a major discrepancy in the AB walk forward analysis.
1. The (partial) results of a walk forwrd analysis:
Mode	Begin	        End	     No.	Net Profit
OOS	1/1/2004	12/31/2004	1	15127.33
OOS	1/1/2005	12/31/2005	1	20248.16
OOS	1/1/2006	12/31/2006	1	33777.22
OOS	1/1/2007	12/31/2007	1	10681.52
OOS	1/1/2008	12/31/2008	1	18440.27

This shows that the out of sample Net Profit is: $98274.5
(adding up the Net Profit column for the OOS mode).

However, in the ~~~OSEQUITY indicator, the total net profit is $118594
a difference of $20,320! very significant! Which one do I believe?

This happens on EVERY walk Forward Analysis - 
Is there something wrong? Why such a difference?

NOTE: ~~~OSEQUITY is over the same period, i.e. 1/1/2004 - 12/31/2008.
