Deviation/slippage
pasquale87:
Hi everyone,
when I subscribe a signal, I set parameters on my local mt5 platform. One of this parameters is deviation/slippage that advise to set to 5.0 (on guide in https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/336422).
But what means this value? Slippage is the difference between my order price and the execution price, isn't it? If i change the mt5's parameters on 0.5 or 5.0, what does it change?
Thanks in advance
You will copy signal provider's trades even if they have some more slippage.

Only on Dealing Desk brokers. On ECN ones, it is ignored.
