There are plenty of times that I won't get filled at a price when someone I trade with will be trading live and get filled at that exact price.
Good for you. How do you find the simulator helps your trading? Are you saying that you think that it is realistic?

For example, here's a training video on scalping the S&P futures (ES) using the Infinnity AT platform on a LIVE account (not demo).

Live Scalp Trade on Emini S&P Futures

I think the best use of the simulator is to familiarize yourself with the bells and whistles of the platform before trading live.

The feature set that is demonstrated seems to lessen the learning curve of setting and adjusting stops and profit targets manually, something that can trip up a newbie real easily.
