When I am backtesting something in Sim mode and I use my hotkeys that are set to sell at market, or buy at market, for some reason the Simulated platform fills the trade at about 2 ticks better that it would fill in real trading. For example, if the NQ is trading at 25210.00 x 25210.50, and I hit the sell at market hotkey, the fill is happening at 25120.50 or even better when it should hit the bid at 25210.00. Again, in real trading, it is filling at the then bid price, like it should. How do I fix this so that it is more realistic in Sim and closer to real trading? This situation has nothing to do with the hotkeys or the current bid x ask because in real trading, the software is filling at the then bid for a market sell or the ask for a market buy, as it should. This situation is only happening in Simulated mode. |
