I have TWO slippages ?!?!?? One EA slippage and one execution slippage (broker)

Dear all,

 

To start I would like to say that I have tested the strategy in a Live Demo account and the stop positioning was correct. 

I have started automatic trading with MT4 and XTB a month ago. I only trade Dax CFD. I have just checked my "first" 85 trades and I am confused. 

Theres is big differences between the stop sent by the EA and the "stop price" shown in the results section. 

When I ask a 3-point-stop-loss, it seems that the machine get 3.3 points for exemple and THEN the execution give me an addition slippage of 0.2-0.5 point. 


In the same report from the Demo Live account, the stop price sent by the same EA is 3 point and of course the final price in also 3 points.

Did anyone experience something similar, "double slippage" ? 


Thank all in advance, 


Arnaud
