I use Bracket Trader connected to IB and AB, all at the same time.
http://www.bracket-trader.com/features.html
It is free and a Great simulator ( called Sim or Live), for a
limited number of stocks , but pay $100 and any stock . It is also
to trade RT with IB as a front end.
In the demo ver I have on now can do simulations on QQQQ and ER2, in
real time. Not sure how it would work in EOD. If you want to trade
YM or ES in RT, will have to pay $100.
I believe it was developed for the futures or any stock in RT like
qqqq.
If you get IB, which is only $10/m when you do not trade, and
connect to BT a great simulator system.
They have 3 downloads, depending on the IB version and API.
