Hello, I am investigating a major discrepancy between fills in two instances of the same automated trading system: System 1: Live trading (Teton CME routing) System 2: Simulated trading (Trade Simulation Mode ON), but running in real-time on live market data Same symbol, Same chart,Same study/ACSIL system,Same entry signal at the same moment However, the fill prices are completely different, and surprisingly the Sim system fill matches much better with what the backtest shows. I need to understand what causes such a large difference in execution timing and fill price.
