More precisely - for exchange instruments Limit orders placed at a better market price(higher Ask for BuyLimit and lower Bid for SellLimit) will be executed (activated) immediately after being placed (without waiting for the next price) at the current market price (Ask for BuyLimit, Bid for SellLimit).
Not strictly over/under.
Thank you for improving the tester. While you are at it, maybe you could think about it.
For what reason does this only apply to exchange traded instruments? On FOREX in the tester, positive limit order slippages introduce very decent distortions. You will say that positive ones happen there. Of course they do. But there are also requotes which are not present in the tester (arbitrary delay is not an option). Bottom line is that mathematically on any real account (due to requotes in limit orders) slippage is not only zero but cannot even compensate losses due to requotes - we lose summarily.
In other words, positive slippage in the tester without requotes is an embellishment of the real situation. Please think on this topic. If you need some constructive proof of any assertions - I'm open to it. With all due respect, positive slippages in the FOREX tester should be removed too. This only applies to limit orders. Who needs these slippages, let them use market orders and continue to rejoice in tester grails. And for those who use limit orders, the current approach of their execution causes very serious distortions in the results.
Very overestimated results are obtained using limit orders in an MT5 tester when compared to reality. Therefore please make the execution of limit orders on FOREX the same as you would do on the stock exchange.

There is no "right" way to do this, each of the variants has its advantages and disadvantages. No changes will be made in the near future.

Completely agree that there is no right one. However, anyone who wants a slip can achieve it with marques. But getting no limiters to slip is not. So I suggest a strawman solution.

Of course it is more than/less than or equal to.

It would help everyone if the MT5 tester took the place of a benchmark tester.

The benchmark is different for everyone.
For a brokerage company it is useful for the tester to show the mountain of gold.
For the trader it is useful for the tester to show what he needs.
Who to adapt to?

Do you, dear fellow, make any money on the real?
First the terminal should work properly, and then everything else.
