Is it possible to model a nonzero slippage in the historical tester? Or will the historical tests always assume zero slippage?

I want to see the effect of say 1 or 2 pips slippage on my strategy performance.

Yes, the historical tester assume non zero slippage (all orders is filled). It's not possible to model a non-zero slippage.
