When I do backtesting using market ordering the algorithm performance is great. When you Liquidate or SetHoldings does it buy/sell at the closing price exactly? When I deploy the algorithm live using the same strategy with marekt orders the prices vary wildly and the gains are eliminated. Is there a better strategy using market orders or using Interactive Broker's back-end algorithmss (e.g smart routing etc) In other words, I know that marekt orders can be less than optimal getting you the best price but the execute immediately which is what I need. Any suggestions are welcomed :)

I am also worried about the use of Liquidate or SetHoldings in live trading. This may be a combo feature request of adding more order related options to SetHoldings + additional order types for IB. This feature needs some help from us in the community.
This need sort of reminds me of the optimize api from a similar platform which works to achieve a portfolio state vs messing with execution details in the algo. In the general case of Lean this may be more difficult to tackle. But access to some IB Algo orders might help mitigate slippage while guaranteeing portfolio state in the meantime.

Currently its a direct market order. We have a new way of writing algorithms coming out tomorrow which leap frogs the optimize API ;) and lets you build execution algorithms. The Algorithm Framework we mocked up below will be live tomorrow!
