Can someone please help me with this, I’m paper trading futures with $1000 as practice for when I save up the money to actually trade them. I’ve noticed when I close positions that the gain shown in trading view is not accurate, for example I have +$102.00 on the graph, and when I sell it within the same 5 seconds it fills at +$70.00, and on occasion I close in a profit and it fills as a loss.
Closing positions at a higher gain than in receiving

Paper trading is all simulated it doesn’t use real numbers
You bought something with low liquidity and they filled it at the best possible order.
Paper trading doesn’t fill at correct number
