    Simulator VS Reality

    Hi Folks

    I will be trading full time this January, I plan to use IB as my broker. I have been using Fidelity and Scotts Trade but their platforms & executions are slow. After research, I selected Ninja Trader for my new platform and have been learning the software in simulator mode with kinnectic (sp). IB says their executions are in nano-seconds. I will be day trading large cap stocks -- can anyone tell me their experience with IB and how closely the simulator reflects actual trading with them.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Perhaps a better question would be, if you test a strategy in simulator mode and then apply it in real time, how accurately does it reflect simulator mode?

      Hello Jonafare,
      Thanks for your note

      Trading in your live account and the Sim101 account can be close, however order execution can differ a bit depending on latency etc.

      You can set the Delay Comm, Delay Exchange variables to control it somewhat from Tools>Options>Simulator tab.
