how to set slippage?

Hello, I am not sure about the slippage setting.

If one instrument’s pip/tick step is 0.2 (futures), I set the 10 for the symbol.

Does it mean the slippage is TEN or  TWO (0.2 * 10 = 2)?

And would the slippage  affect every entry and exit with any orders?

Slippage on futures are in my experience low.  2 tick is is commonly used for round turn.

I use slippage from 1 to 4.

If I have enough strategies in the last filterprocess I increase the slippage filter to 5 or 6

I use SQ 3.8.

The commission is percent of contract value. So I want to set cost in symbol attribute, and give more slippage instead of commission.

1, Does this method work?

2, And I set X slippage, is X the real price range, or  X min step?

Hello,

slippage represents number of pips (ticks) for the slippage added to entry price. As for the commissions calculated as a percentage of contract value you need to use newer SQX

Thank you, tomas262,

SQX is good. But it does not support for TS/MC well now. some issues and bugs need to be fixed.
