Is there a way to incorporate slippage into back-testing?

I notice an absolute absence of slippage during back-testing.

For example, I execute a $1000 trillion stop order on a fast market, and the order fills without any slippage.

Using Intraday Data Storage Time Unit to 1 Tick and Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode. Have also tested with Calculate At Every Tick/Trade.

I have gone through https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/Backtesting.php and Trade Simulation and have not found the answer.

I don't expect back-testing results to match real life results. Nonetheless, I would want to see some slippage. Thank you.
