I am using a ConstantFeeModel of 0.0 and a slippage model as well of 0.0. Hence I expected the fill price of market order to be exactly same as closing price. But even then there's a difference in both of about 0.01. Could you please let me know what could be the reason behind this. Example:

Order:

As shown above, Close:313.1961..., Fill: 313.1861..., a difference of about 0.01, have noticed this difference in all fills. How can I make these same?

Right! Thanks for providing both the reason and solution. I agree on the realistic part, but sometimes I like to see how strategy performs given a perfect execution.
