Does anyone have a good tutorial of implementing slippage? I've tried invoking it as a Transaction Model but it complains about it not being a correct cast. Are we not allowed to do this?
Securities["VXX"].TransactionModel = new ConstantSlippageModel(0.001m);
Thanks.

A transaction model is a combination of a fee model/fill model/slippage model all in one type. The constant slippage model needs to be assigned to the SlippageModel property instead of the TransactionModel property.Securities["VXX"].SlippageModel = new ConstantSlippageModel(0.001m);
Here's the Security class with the various models that can be set.

This is great, thanks Michael.

I had an additional message here about how I couldn't get it to work, but I simply had forgotten the namespace. Thanks!

For others with a similar issue, you'll need to add a using statement at the top of the code file:using QuantConnect.Orders.Slippage

I've set the slippage and I'm not seeing an effect on the backtest results...
for(int i=0;i
Securities[tickers[i]].SlippageModel = new ConstantSlippageModel(0.10m);
Securities[tickers[i]].TransactionModel = new ConstantFeeTransactionModel(1);
}
Is the above not the way to set it?
for(int i=0;i
Securities[tickers[i]].SlippageModel = new ConstantSlippageModel(0.10m);
Securities[tickers[i]].TransactionModel = new ConstantFeeTransactionModel(1);
}

I don't know why the code didn't copy well...
for(int i=0;i
AddSecurity(SecurityType.Equity, tickers[i], Resolution.Minute);
Securities[tickers[i]].SlippageModel = new ConstantSlippageModel(0.10m);
Securities[tickers[i]].TransactionModel = new ConstantFeeTransactionModel(1);
}

If a transaction model is a combination of slippage, fill, and fee models then this:
Securities[tickers[i]].TransactionModel = new ConstantFeeTransactionModel(1);
might be overwriting this:
Securities[tickers[i]].SlippageModel = new ConstantSlippageModel(0.10m);
Securities[tickers[i]].TransactionModel = new ConstantFeeTransactionModel(1);
might be overwriting this:
Securities[tickers[i]].SlippageModel = new ConstantSlippageModel(0.10m);
