Hey all,

So i've been practicing trading the ES using Ninja Trader's simulation feed for about 2 weeks and have been doing pretty well (12 wins with $1425 profit and 1 loss at $112). Recently i decided to try out the End of Market data and i noticed how much slower it is than the simulation data feed and how less volatile (at least the days i traded) it was.

My question is, is the End of Market Data an accurate representation of what i can expect when i start to trade live? Or should i continue to stick to the simulation feed for a few months as planned? If so i feel as if i have to change my whole trading style just to adapt to the real ES market behavior.

Also, is there a place where i can download market data that is as close to the real thing as possible?

THANKS YALL :clap:

Results with sim data will never be the same as live data. Sim data has no slippage or bad fills or miss quotes or re-quotes. MT4 has some sponsors with free data. But not Ninjatrader. BTW 2 weeks of data is too small to be of real use.
