hi
I am fairly new to MC and wondered how accurate the orders are when running an automated strategy on a cqg or rithmic demo account.
Are these orders realistic ? Do they resemble what the actual live orders would be on a live money account ?
I am testing on liquid markets like crude and s&p.
thanks
shane

Hello Shane,
When you are trading live, the market always responds to your actions. Your trades and submitted orders always have impact regardless of how small your trade size is. The orders that you submit change market depth and you can see these changes in real-time. This can never be simulated in demo environment as no algorithm is able to recreate market reaction on market depth change.
