Slippage
-
Sorry - please refresh my memory...
In the Buy now / Sell now block, the Slippage box prevents a buy or sell if the actual slippage is greater than that set? Correct?

Hopefully, but the chance is that this parameter does not work at all, because the broker itself does not work with it
I think I read somewhere that this is normal for ECN brokers.
Someone was asking the same question and I did some tests with OrderSend() and different values for it's slippage parameter - I still got trades with slippage, no matter what value for slippage I used, and I tried values like 0, 1, 10, 100, 1000 and negative values. I don't remember which broker I used for this.
Don't rely on this parameter too much
