Open E Cry's sim is pretty sharp...and I hear Ninja Trader has an algorithm to mimic slippage, etc....you can actually adjust settings if I am not mistaken...
I've used OEC and Ninja on paper. Neither just fill your order when touched, they put you in line like a real trade it seems. I've gotten paper slippage on orders. That's my biggest fear of going live, not emotions but expecting fills that aren't realistic. From what I'm told and can tell this won't be an issue with how these simulators handle orders though.
No internals on either yet which sucks. I can't wait to go live and just get Tradestation setup.

Ninja has a sweet reporting tool and simple bracket order options.
OEC has a much better OCO order setup and better chart trading.

To be honest if OEC had internals I'd probably use them over Tradestation due to the no minimum trades for the platform to be free and the more attractive daytrade margins on YM.
