Hello,
I am testing my auto scalping algo running on Sierrachart, that is hosted on a vps co-located to Aurora data center to minimize latency to CME Exchange.My algo scalp ES future on Sierrachart simulator account, and my data feeder is rithmic.
I see that your Sierrachart future trade simulation server is very realistic at order filling, and that is, Realistic order fills based on estimated position in queue.
My question is, how realistic Sierrachart simulator account is, compared to live trading in terms of, order fills, based on avaliable liquidity, position on queue, slippage, spread, and all other variables in live trading vs simulated trading?
In other words, should I expect a totally different performance of my trading algo when I switch from Sierrachart simulated account to real trading account, please? I know there is always going to be a performance differences between simulated and real trading accounts but, what is approximately the expected difference in percentage between the the two, please?
