Hey !

I'm new to futures markets.

I'd like to know how to evaluate Commission & Slippage precisely in order
to enter the right value into my TradeStation "trade costs" Strategies.

The fields are :

Commission per contract
Slippage per contract

I guess the type of contract & the speed of the fill has to be taken into account for slippage.
So let's say I choose a fast broker.

What values would you enter in those fields ? 
Please explain in detail why and give real examples.
