New slippage option in Simulations: "Variable"

There’s a new option for slippage in Step 1 of a simulation: “Variable”. The slippage % is calculated for every transaction based on this simple algorithm: The 10 bar average of the $ daily traded is calculated (price*vol) the slippage is set according to where the avg falls in this table: 0 - $50K → 5% $50K - $100K → 1.5% $100K - $350K → 0.75% $350K - $1M → 0.5% $1M - $5M → 0.25% $5M+ → 0.1% Add (0.01 / Price) to the result from Step 2 Step 3 would add, for example, 1% to the slip…
