What should I set my slippage to?

There is no single recommended slippage value for all trading strategies or brokers.

The optimal slippage setting depends on your broker, the instruments you trade, market volatility, and your tolerance for execution differences. Increasing the slippage value may improve the likelihood of trades being copied successfully, but it can also increase execution risk.

As a general guideline:

• The default slippage value is 100.
• Indices often require a higher slippage setting than forex pairs because price differences between brokers tend to be larger.
• Compare prices between your lead and follower brokers and adjust the setting based on your observations and testing.

We recommend starting with the default value and increasing it only if necessary to achieve reliable trade execution while maintaining an acceptable level of risk.
