Why do I suffer slippage in my OrderClose() function?

[Wonsuk Song]

Hi, all.

I just wonder why I suffer slippage when I close the order. My OrderClose() function is like below.

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),TargetPrice,0,Red)

As you can see, I defined the target price (like a limit order) and I allowed '0' for the slippage as I didn't want to close my order in unfavorable price than TargetPrice.

But sometimes I found that my order was closed at worse price than the TargetPrice. This happens often. Is there anyone has a idea?

Thank you.

Hello, thanks for your comment.

Do  you mean my '0' input to prevent slippage can be ignored? I really don't want to close my order below my target price...What could I do? Or...do I have to contact my broker?

Oh, thank you for your links. I just researched the slippage issue on 'OrderClose' function only. As discussed in the forum, the slippage depends on my broker...I see. Thank you very much!
