Any indicator to know the slippage without actually putting a trade

 

As above. Anyone has any idea or free tools which can be used to determine that? 

I require it specifically for the MT5 market.

Thanks

There is no way that can be determined as slippage can only happen between sending the trade and it being processed.

 

I think its about your broker's execution speed

so you wouldnt know before its execute.

avoid this you can use vpn , it is faster than your network

An order of 0.01 lots can be instant. However, an order of 5 lots might suffer from slippage. Variables that I think affect slippage: latency to the server, lots, current liquidity, upcoming high impact news

I have a scalping strategy that works on demo but not on live. I believe I may have to drop scalping in favour of more long term strategies.

Scalping is broker sensitive

Some broker may even ban your account if you scalp denying your withdrawal
