Details on slippage

Slippage is designed to help you compensate for the fact that you cannot always get the current price on a market order. There is always a bid/ask spread to content with. The slippage amount is entered in points, where a change of 1.00 in the price is one point. In the results summary, the price on the trade will be adjusted assuming the amount of slippage specified, both in and out of a position. However, the price will not be adjusted above the high of the bar or below the low of the bar on which the trade is made.
