Yes, I am concerned that the game is rigged! I don't mind a fair playing field, I can compete in that. But if the "game is rigged" and my trades are being falsely represented (or rigged) I do have a problem with that.

This has already been answered. Read the thread.

Thanks for the info. I have similar concerns re: NT Sim101 rendering it useless.

Good comments. I agree, I am using Sim101 and the fills are fantasy. I was thinking IB simulated account as well. Do you know how much deposit to get or is that free for testing? I will try 1-second. Appreciate the comments.

I did not have that selected but thank you for the information. Any info to debug is very helpful. Thanks.

Great advice. I will compare Sim with actual side by side. I think it does all have to do with actual market impact and non-linear dynamics that simulation just can't account for.

I don't think the NT Sim account algorithm is trade when limit price is touched because I've watched this and I often don't get filled when it touches. My hope is that it would be similar to exchange, FIFO but that doesn't seem to be the case. Or, it's just a matter of being picked off...

Simulated real time. I sent emails to NT because their doc says they used an algorithm but it doesn't explain the algorithm. My strategy looks at bid/ask levels and volume which work well simulated real time (based on NT simulation algorithm) but not live/actual real time. I would think the...

Huh?

I have been simulated trading in Ninja Trader for a while. I had a good strategy that makes $ based on order flow. I went to trade it real time (actual $) and it blew up. Is simulated so much different from actual that simulated can't be acted upon? I mean what's the point of back-testing or...

I bought and installed WIN8. Good thing it was only $40. The start screen (Metro) is a pain in the ass. It just gets in the way of getting to the desktop. Maybe the kernel is better I don't know, hard to tell. It boots up a little faster and shuts down faster but that's about it. I would...

I purchased, downloaded and installed WIN8 Pro today. No big deal. I notice no difference from WIN7 with the exception of the crazy "start screen". I'm hoping there's something better behind the scenes that makes it worth it (i.e., kernel improvement).

Thanks MRE that is good info. Thanks everybody else.
