If you are simply testing a system for your own purposes, I heartily
recommend Auditrack. It ain't cheap if you trade alot, but fills are
pretty much like real trading.
If you are trying to build a track record to be a CTA, forget it. I
wasted 8 months doing this while people told me they would use this as
part of my track record but in the end , no one considers it anything
but hypothetical and useless.
Good Luck,
Eric
