demo is only good for trading like an hft. that's why demo traders make money. demo us good for learning order types. the algos at the CME are highly aggressive. it is basically like an expensive pacman. if you trade futures drill down to a 5 trade tick chart or 2 or 3 seconds..then place an order 1 lot..3 or 4 levels away in the night session.you will immediately see the once quiet mkt. wake up. becareful of getting filled. quickly move order down 2 more levels. then you will see the algo give chase and cancel into you. the last change at the cme has made it exceedingly more difficult to profit. consolidated fill messages. the hft are gaming each and every 1 lot order. try and see. you will understand now why the mkt will always go against you initially and keep pressing you even if you reverse.
if algos have changed the market the charts would have changed: no one can differentiate between a chart 10,20 50 years back and the most recent charts
