Who has a good paper trading simulator

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.

Thanks for the input mcichoki.

I tried Interactive brokers simulater and was not satisfied with it for daytrading eminis. I also tried Ninja Trade briefly but it did not appeal to me. I'm interested in Infinity, but I think they intend it as a demo rather than a simulator, so not sure if they will allow a long term use of it. Currently I'm using Open E Cry.

Yeah the major thing I like about Ninja Trader is the trader metrics it breaks down as far as stats, etc...

If OEC could integrate something similar...hmmm..

[hanz]

you can tell their staff via chartroom...feedback on the OEC trader platform to improve it

hopefully they will do something about it on their next software upgrade

Interactive Brokers has a good trading simulator. They also give you daily, weekly, monthly statements on the simulated tading account. Simulated comissions are also included.

I have heard good things about IB's papertrader, but I don't know how good they would be for daytrading..I imagine they'd be fine..but opinions vary.

i find the ninja trader order system to be pretty nifty where it allows the user to trade straight off the chart. however there are other aspects which need improvement

Does anyone know of a similar progam that allows the ability to trade off the chart?
