The question is about slippage with high volatility in trading

I'm testing my EA on a live account with FXOpen, and I'm observing some slippage during high volatility. On forexclassic com, I read that you can model slippage in your backtests to make them more realistic. I want to add a slippage module to my EA. How do you estimate the slippage for a given broker and time of day? Do you use fixed pips or a percentage?
