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.

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