Is it possible to get Slippage calculation populated for actual orders placed and actual orders traded?
this would be very useful for users to understand the slippage % and fine tune their strategies.

    Currently there is no function to check this.

    Slippages is dynamic and depends on market conditions. You may get 1% slippage today, tomorrow may be it is 2% or 4% .

    If you want to calculate slippages, you need to place real orders and at same time capture the best bid/ask and compare it with executed price. The method which we use to calculate slippages is as follows.

    We will run a simple level breakout strategy in one sheet with paper mode and same strategy in another sheet with live mode. Both will have exact symbols/configuration, so orders will get triggered at same time. We calculate PnL difference of Paper and Live Trade, and calculate slippage.
