Ive seen slippage listed as 50% and 100% etc. What does this mean? Is it how much extra is added with a stop? e.g. if you have a stop set for -£100, with 50% slippage factor it can result in a loss of -£150?

This might sound obvious but presumably the stock, indices etc listed as 'DFB' on the ProRealTime platform, specifally the time and sales section, show data from the Spreadbet trades rather than the underlying stock trades. Secondly if this is the case this implies that the Spreadbet trades are taken on an exchange and shown here. Like traditional trading. I didnt think this was the case, i thought the trade was simply electronically made with the IG system, rather than actually buying 'spreadbets' off an exchange. If this is not the case then why are the individual trades listed on the time and sales
