Over a year ago discovered and tried out http://www.spectrenet.com/ . It
includes what appears to be random fills/no fills but not partial fills for
LMT orders. Never tried it for market orders so don't know how well it
simulates slippage for such. Uses its own TS equivalent software, but
training (simulation) trades are not sent to the markets. You might have to
open a trading account at one of its supporting brokers, in order to try it,
don't know for sure. That is what I did.
Live real time trade simulations definitely needed for TS. Back testing is
not nearly as useful as a decent trade simulator would be.
I have a couple sets of simulation and back testing web site URLs. Email me
directly if you want copies, cannot send attachments via the omega-list.
>From these lists, have only tried spectrenet. It showed me what TS could do
if it choose to. Of no use, though, for automated TS EL systems.

Subject: Trading simulator
Can anyone recommend a trading simulator?
It's for placing orders manually, not automatic stuff, just so I can
test a methodology in real-time without risking real money.
None of my brokers currently offer this.
I know IB have one or two, and T Sim seems to be well regarded -
although it means opening an account with them.
Would appreciate comments and suggestions.
Ian
