I just got 5 ticks of slippage using a market order. Is this normal? I only backtested for 2 points of slippage. I have to use a market order because I can't miss the big winner, (trend following system). Any suggestions? Perhaps place a buy limit at my preferred price and use a market order if it starts taking off without me lets say 3 ticks away?
