Performance report of automated trading on SIM account
Hi friends
I've been running my automated trading on my tradestation SIM account.
At the end of each day I open the performance report and go through the Trades List tab.
My question is - how accurate is running aautomted trading on SIM accounts and can I count on its performance reports?
* I'm of course trying to get as close to reality as possible, before putting money on it...
Thanks for any info! Appreciate it
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Not knowing what you trade or how much you trade ect can't say.
IF you are trading something like the Futures Indexes, e.g. ES with plenty of liquidity, meaning almost NO slippage and you are using limit orders or are accounting for the bid/ask spread it should be fairly accurate.
Having said that that's absolutely NOT to say thats that what whould happen live.
Most likely it won't work at all. You will have slippage. Hiccups. Orders cross. Orders doubling up or just bleed money till you give up.
