wow and mswin for two have no slippage, so the increase of commissions is the only way to introduce it. 1% of a $10,000 trade is $100 that in the days of 9.95 (datek) or $24 (what I pay) leaves enough slippage. When you test a AMTX and you are trading $150,000 after winning, $1500 is enough. There is a difference in how each software handles test and it will always be difficult to compare results on same system and stock. between systems, it is worse. we only get a relative goodness or badness. Lets say we use RSI or CCI in system, each software seems to have a different reading or measurement. lets say we want to compare a system that uses a 13 EMA while the other uses 200 EMA, where do you start test? We just need to learn how to read results in keeping with our mindset. I am not sure slippage means that much in the big picture. With discount brokers, commisions go the same way.
