If I am trading on the live market, on a sim account, does it assume that my subscription-based market data includes the market depth option? When I sign up for Market Data through NT.com, there is a more expensive option to also get market depth. To match my results with sim trading strategies on the live market, I just need to confirm that it sim is operating with the market depth data or not. thank you!

When I sim trade on the live market does it assume I have Market Depth data?
Hi NT8,
If I am trading on the live market, on a sim account, does it assume that my subscription-based market data includes the market depth option? When I sign up for Market Data through NT.com, there is a more expensive option to also get market depth. To match my results with sim trading strategies on the live market, I just need to confirm that it sim is operating with the market depth data or not. thank you!Tags: None

Hello Austiner87,
Thanks for your post.
No, you would not need to subscribe to market depth data.
Level 2 data (market depth) is not used in the NinjaTrader simulator and is not used with historical data.
The differences between Live and Sim are as follows:
Live trading is different from Sim since the order fill is simulated locally from level 1 data, and adds random delays between order states to simulate slippage. In a live account, the exchange fills the order and the order has to reach the exchange from NinjaTrader.
Let me know if I may assist further.<span class="name">Brandon H.</span><span class="title">NinjaTrader Customer Service</span><iframe name="sig" id="sigFrame" src="/support/forum/core/clientscript/Signature/signature.php" frameborder="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-style: none;width: 100%; height: 120px;"></iframe>
