I've been trading ES with real money for a long time now and slippage is virtually never a problem, but now that I'm enrolled in a get-funded-program with one such company and trading in simulator initially I find that the slippage is extreme.
Yesterday, I experienced 2,5 point / 10 tick slippage on a stop order. I had a similar incident earlier in the week. With some other instrument this would probably be realistic, but not on ES trading 2-3 contracts.
My question is how does the simulator in Ninja account for slippage? Is it equal on all instruments? Is there always slippage or is there some kind of logic to determine when there's slippage and when there's not?
I'm not complaining - just trying to gain a better understanding. As for the get-funded program I'll just need to keep this in mind and use wider stops or limits to get out sooner.
Best regards,
Johnny
