Do you consider slippage and poor/bad order filling? I played with IB's paper trading platform and notice for market order filling is bad...simply orders dont get filled. What broker you use and are you using real time and real broker (not one of those virtual trading websites)?
I think that Open E cry has the best platform for executing orders. It is simple, easy to navigate and I am happy with it. Did not like IB platform, just could not get comfortable with it.
I use Ninja with a realtime feed. During fast markets I'll get slippage occasionally on stops, even on 1 contract. I think it's fairly realistic from what I have heard and seen. I won't know how exact things are until I come off sim mode. JIM
Close enough for this exercise. And this is the only way you're going to get to trading that 100 contracts Saxon22. You're going to have to build up to it, step-by-step. JJ

I don't understand...you show exiting a long trade today for BDN at 35.19 but my quotes show a high of 35.07 You went long BRE at 68.97 and it didn't touch your exit of 70.39 You went long ENN at 16.25 and claim you exited at 16.67 but it never touched that price either! Same with EQY...EQR and probably the rest of them. How do you arrive at that? Hmmm...looks like you're getting magical fills to me. How come I don't get them? Yeah, I wish "trading" were that easy!
