Herb: If you use other than limit orders (which may or may not get filled)
slippage refers to the difference between your order expectation and the
actual fill price. In wild swinging S&P's the difference can be vast--in
oats, small. Slippage is almost always negative, but in rare cases one may
actually gain a profit. Depends upon volatility. Hope this helps.
Regards, Jack.
