Hello,

I noticed that the SDK examples use a slippage of 20 pips. Is there any particular reason for using that number, or are there any established best practices for using slippage in automated strategies?

There is no right or wrong answer. It depends on the volume that is available for a particular instrument. Some trading strategies may trade in short intervals with small slippage, others may use long trading intervals and larger slippage.
