Since many retail Forex brokers have fixed spreads per market and guarantee "zero slippage" fills, Trading Blox provides for this using a fixed per-market slippage which is defined by the spread in pips for each market. The spread for each market should be set to the figures your Forex broker uses or a larger number for more conservative testing. See Forex Dictionary for information on changing the Forex market spreads.
When set to TRUE, the parameter Use Pip-Based Slippage overrides the normal Trading Bloxslippage calculations (based on a fixed amount or percentage) for the Forex markets only.
