I really know nothing about programming, but I am wondering if there is a way for the EA to determine if slippage happened.
I.e.
Let's say that are stop was set at 1.2500 to go long, but the trade did not enter until 1.2503. What really should happen then is the EA would take this into consideration and add the slippage back into the price at the close of the bar and if with all that done, the EA would then either see that we would have been in profit if not for the slippage and close the trade or that the trade should still be kept open.
I am not a programmer though and this may be a programming nightmare.
Gary, what are your thoughts about this? Before we do it, we should make sure that slippage is the issue though, but just wondering your thoghts.

DislikedWhat do you think of this to tackle this brokerage problem or would we just be spinning our wheels? Part of me is inclined to say that it really doesn't matter - that the EA should be able to deal with any brokerage as long as it gives quick fills. Am I thinking right on this?
But anyway, what if we get real focused here. 1. best 3 brokerages, 2. assign out one pair, 2 time frames, at a time, 1 week each? I, for one, would do one pair, 2 time frames, on EACH of the servers that FXDD has (8). Perhaps we're way too broad here until we get this...Ignored
