1860 Strategy Tester Slippage

 

Hi all,

I read an MQL5 article which stated that slippage would be included when using the every tick & real tick modes within the strategy tester - https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/testing_features

Unfortunately so far during all of my tests, slippage has not been included and I have received the requested price for each order (not possible with my strategy as I do encounter slippage with almost every trade). I am using buy stop and sell stop orders so slippage should be a factor in the strategy tester.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks
