Are futures Demo accounts realistic for profit?

  1. That's in a real money account -- I find that coding 1 tick slippage in backtesting helps most closely approximate what I get for real fill in fast-moving markets. It may overestimate slippage a little, but that's better than underestimating it. This is for algo trading (so that tick of slippage includes calculation => sending order to IB => executing order at CME), not orders that already sit on the exchange.
