Slippages is part of the trading, you can have slippage when you place a trade on market or when a pending trade is executed (like SL, that are stop orders, or TP that are limit orders). It can be 0, positive or negative. You are just analyzing a single situation, once you will have 100, or even 1000 trades you will see that all of them compensate each other more or less.

The same thing happened to a SL becoming higher can happen to a SL becoming lower and also to TP becoming higher or lower. High volatility can lead to higher slippages.

Brokers do not steal money from you in this way, and I really doubt you need to change your actual broker like someone crazily suggested you.

If your strategy or your trading approach can't survive to slippages, you are doing something wrong.

PS. In demo account slippages are harder to happen because, obviously, there are no need for liquidity to trigger a trade.

i think that you should checkt the image again. no matter how bad the slippage is, or the reason for it. you should not get such consistent slippage from broker side, for whatever reason. I have been trading going on 21 years, and it only ever happened like this to 1 broker to me.

 

You should analyze DE40 market for just 10 minutes in a low volatility period to see that it moves tick by tick of minimim 50 points most of time, often more than 100.

Slippages there are: 35, 65, 115 points. Average spread is around 70 points. Slippages are in 2 cases out of 3 less than the spread. 

What are we talking about?!

Average spread for DE40 on the broker I use is 50 points . I tried My EA on US30 and the average spread is 70 points but STILL the closing price is higher than the stop loss.

No. my appologies to Fabio. As Fabio said, that symbol does move more per each tick, more than most symbols, especially in low volatility.

but even so, if it is a common occurance on more than these CFDS, then, imo, i would "give that broker the flick".
