SlippagePips detailed definition

Hello,

In a market order request how does "SlippagePips" works?

For example, if I send a market order request at 09:15:00:100 where price was 1.35000 (assume no spread); that request is accepted at 09:15:00:200 where price, for example, is 1.35005 and the order is filled at 09:15:00:700 with a price of 1.35015, where does the SlippagePips applies?

Thanks

In the example above, if I'd sent the market order request with 1 pip slippage, would it had been filled?

You send a market order request at price x +/- y pips. Then the order will be filled if the price is at x+/- y pips at the time it is received.
