The first thing is for you to understand how fills are done in Simulation Mode. Refer to the following: Trade Simulation: How Orders are Filled As for the fills with a live trading account, it is going to be what it is. You would have to work with the exchange to understand why your particular order filled at a specific price. You also reference "backtest" in the statement "the Sim system fill matches much better with what the backtest shows". Are you actually comparing to a live trade or to backtesting? Refer to the following regarding backtesting: Auto Trade System Back Testing: Differences Between Back Testing and Real-Time Auto Trade System Evaluation For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
