I'm looking to model my commissions and had some questions about the constantslippagemodel.
Suppose I bought and sold 10 units.
The slippage would occur on both sides of this trade, correct?
So suppose I have a slipage model set to 0.0001m, this would be 1 pip, and so if I had this on a forex algorithm, it would be 2 pips in commisisons (buy, and sell) that would add to the spread, so a 4 pip spread would become 6 pips in commissions, right?

The ConstantSlippageModel represents a slippage model that uses a constant percentage of slip.
If we want a constant value of slip, we need to implement it. Here is an example from the docs:
// Assigning securities custom slippage models: Securities["SPY"].SlippageModel = new CustomSlippageModel() // Custom slippage implementation public class CustomSlippageModel : ISlippageModel { public decimal GetSlippageApproximation(Security asset, Order order) { return 0.1m; } }The calculated slippage will be added to the fill price.
Yes, you are right. It would become 6 pips.
