Unfortunately it is incorrect to say that S/L and T/P are properly handled. Not even when using "Real Ticks" does the Strategy Tester properly handle T/P and S/L.
The tester will always have the T/P and S/L triggered at the EXACT prices, irrespective of the actual quote prices, thus NEVER suffers slippage. The same problem applies to pending orders.
That is why back-test results of so many EA's that use pending orders or broker-side T/P and S/L, always giver better results in the Strategy Tester then on a live account.
