This EA is designed to monitor the slippage of opening and closing orders, and save the records in files.
It is useful to record the slippage and evaluate brokers.
The record files are saved in the folder MT4_Data_Folder\MQL4\Files. Go to "File " --> "Open Data Folder" .
Warning: Do NOT open the files directly, otherwise it will affect the exectution of EA, just copy them to another folder and open them.

- Open a chart and load the EA on it, just need only one EA to run, it monitors all orders of all symbols.
Input:
- Show in brief - If true, EA will show the latest 5 open/close slippage in point.
- Record File Type - Select the file type: TXT or CSV. I recommend TXT.
Example Open Slippage: Slippage Monitor(60249928)-open.csv. It is the open slippage record.
