Slippage

I have a basic question:

What does “5” slippage actually mean?

Is that instead of 1.135687 EUR/USD 1.135692 EUR/USD or 1.135682 EUR/USD or even 1.140687 EUR/USD?

it depends how are you data settings – you have EU for 6 decimals? this is strange, because normal it has only 5 decimals, dukascopy data has only 5 decimals, what data are you using?

did you make changes in SQX settings? because original setting for EU is for 5 decimals, piptick size 0.0001, piptick step 0.00001

if you have these original settings , so the slippage will be in pips, 1 pip mean by piptick size move from 1.55555 to 1.55565

Thanks for the info! Of course you are right, the value has only 5 digits.

@StrategyQuant:

It would be helpful to see such information directly in the SQ or at least it is described in the manual.

OK, so the slippage will be in pips – i am using for MARKET and STOP strattegies slippage 1 pip, spread for EURUSD – 2 pips, no commision

LIMIT strategies has on entry no slippage (or a little positive)
