not sure about your second question.
about backtesting, I don't know what it is, how it is done.
about simulation, I hardly lasted for a full day when I was simulating. For example, I was simulating with one contract. Then I got bored, and decided to put on a 100 contracts. It was very satisfying to see your fake account increase suddenly by $100,000. But of course, the next thing that happened is the account dropped by $250,000. And that was the end of the simulation!
