Well I´m using TradeStation for programming and developing strategies in Forex but the simulator on TS ir really useless because it doesn´t behave ever close to the reality.
The main problem is that TS simulator only handle Bid side, so if you set a market buy order it will "buy" considering the actual Bid price instead of the Ask price, what would be the real price.
As an example, see the chart. My system gives me great buy entry orders in simulator, but in real account most of them wouldn´t have been filled:

I would appreciate any expecience with other platforms in witch I can test with a realistic simulator and I would like to have a realistic backtest tool as well.
Many thanks in advance!!!
