Timing of Sim versus Live trading

06-13-2010, 04:00 AM

Could you please tell me something about the difference in timing between using the simulator and doing live trading. When placing orders on the simulator the data never leaves my PC - it's all happening within my PC. Thus I can imagine that when doing live trading and placing orders there is a bigger delay. How big is that delay? 1 second, 5 seconds? 10 seconds?

Hello,

Are you using File>connect>simulated data feed? Or are you using file>connect>[some name]?

That's about all I wanted to know to have a bit of a comparison and not nothing at all before I start live. Appreciated, thanks.
