In .mq4 code, there is a function named BuyNow (or SellNow for sells):

http://fxdreema.com/documentation/colle ... l4/sellnow
Somewhere at the middle of the code there is a "OrderSend" MQL4 function.
if (IsBrokerECN()!=false || ticket==-1) {
ticket=OrderSend(symbol,OP_SELL,lots,bid,slippage, 0, 0,comment,magic,0,arrowcolor);
see where "slippage" parameter is? Between "bid" and "0". This is int parameter, following this:
int OrderSend( string symbol, int cmd, double volume, double price, int slippage, double stoploss, double takeprofit, string comment=NULL, int magic=0, datetime expiration=0, color arrow_color=CLR_NONE)
They say that this parameter is in point format, for example 3 (when broker is 0.0001 type). I presume that it is internally converted into 0.0003 when 3 is used.
I have to be honest, I never take care of slippage and I don't know for sure how it should be used. And I think my broker is not a slippage maniac. So you can play in MetaEditor by replacing "slippage" with values in different format to see what works. And if you find the correct format and it is not as in their example (see "3" between "Ask" and "Ask-25"):
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,1,Ask,3,Ask-25*Point,Ask+25*Point,"My order #2",16384,0,Green);
please, tell me 🙂
