Reading signals slippage
It is the 'Slippage' tab, available in all MQL5.com Signals in this website.

If it is the slippage tab as it is I of course found it. If you read the link I shared it is highly misleading as it seems there is the "slippage tab" plus one separate tab to see the performance among those subscribers having a VPS?... thanks.

Now I understand what you mean Oscar, no I can't seem to find that VPS/ALL tab into the Slippage tab too.
I have a different but related question. For many signals here, the Slippage tab shows data for a lot of brokers - way more than there have ever been subscribers to the signal. For example, I am looking at a signal listed just a few days ago where I'm the first and only subscriber, yet it lists slippage data for tens of brokers. Moreover, for one of the brokers the count is over twice the number of trades the signal ever made. Where does this data come from? I'd suspect it could be from copiers outside of this platform, but this wouldn't explain everything I'm seeing (some of the signal accounts are too new and obscure for that, and I have no idea how you'd possibly achieve more cases of slippage than there were deals). Confused.

The slippage tab of each signal, gathers information from all signals that have used the same broker/server in the past, in relation to the listed broker/server setups, not solely from this specific signal.

Thank you Eleni! This makes sense, but there must be more going on - such as some kind of filtering on what information to include or not - since the maximum numbers of samples are (loosely) correlated with the current signal. If this truly included everything from the server combinations, it'd be a lot more data and it'd be the same across signals with the same server combinations, which it is not.

I am not sure of these details and how exactly this information is gathered.

I found here (https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/signals/signal_monitoring) this info on the slippage page. It seems that there is a separate tab where you can read slippage of those following the signal with the MQL VPS (and see the improvement), see the text:
" A separate tab provides statistics on the slippage for subscribers who copy signals on a VPS. By choosing a VPS located close to the broker's servers, subscribers can significantly reduce slippage. You can evaluate connection improvement by checking out real statistics."
I have not been able to find such tab, can someone help and point me towards this "separate tab".
thank you!
