I have developed a scalping EA that 'should' work. In fact it should almost every time according to my code that handles open\closure detection. However I have a fairly large issue. Almost 90% of all of my opens and closes slip... and push the trade in to loss. I was surprised to slip more than 1-2 pips, if at all.
I have tested it on the demo system for MIG, Alpari, ODL, FIBO, KVB, Straighthold and Interbank.
Is there any way to minimize slippage? I put some timing code in my EA and found that there is only 250ms between the tick arriving and the OrderSend but I'm seeing slippage of up to 20 pips in some cases.
Does slippage affect scalpers in this same way?
