How Realistic is SIM vs. Real Connection on Fast Markets?

How REALISTIC is the Ninjatrader Market Replay in terms of fill, slippage, etc....Specially if I am using a very short term chart?

Please advise

Pedro, the Market Replay connection is pretty close to live trading, but it is certainly not 100%. How short is your trading timeframe?

I am using a 3 range bar.

I just wanna make sure that my results are realistic....

I use mainly stop orders (become market orders at execution for entry) for entry and stop-out and use limit for targets

Thanks

Pedro, the only way to get a 100% realistic test is to trade the strategy live, but as I said before, the replay comes pretty close as long as you're not trying to do anything fancy, like buy the bid and sell the ask at a high frequency.
