I have been trading the after lunch session using Interactive Brokers - currently a simulator account, in addition to Bracket Trader front end.
the last couple of days I was still trading the March contract - maybe I shouldn't be - not totally sure when the contract roll-over is.
Anyway an number of my trades are either opened or closed out at about 80 points away from the actual market, always to hurt me, never in my favour.
I would like to trade this market, but if I get action like this in real trading I am frankly dead.
Anybody got experience of this - and where the problem comes from? My TWS software or the exchange (I guess though simulated trading doesn't really use the exchange).
The market never traded anywhere near the fills I'm getting.
To clarify - THIS IS ONLY SIMULATED TRADING
Thanks for any info.
