Could someone advise me what slippage should be used in system testing?
in percentage and in points...
And also does the "points per transaction ($)" mean that if i enter say "10" in the box that the commission is $10 per order?
Is slippage important factor when trading EOD and weekly systems?

I believe slippage is going to vary from broker to broker. It is basically supposed to be a number that averages the difference in price from MetaStock and your broker. This is something you would want to track yourself for a while (perhaps even with a demo account) to get an good average.
