My solution for paper tradeing is to use time lag :

That is, average the time it takes to make a trade from
your normal trading.


Using typical times from you broker setup is important. Just
time from 
	I am trading this.   time
	to 
	executed	     time

for several of your regular trades.  Then use the next tick
after that time interval as you execution price.


At datek I run about 2 minutes.

        16:12:43  oewwd         34 3/8

use next tick after 16:14:43    

        16:14:44  oewwd         35 3/4

        that is the price used for paper trade.

(The example here is from after the bell)
