I always leave slippage on. It's better to try and replicate real life situations than not try at all.
As for candles, I use 1 minute candles but that's because I created my strategies specifically for 1 minute candles. I just read from others that 15 minute candles are useless because a lot of trades can happen in 15 minutes and you end up missing the price you want.
I haven't ran a bot live trading on 15 minute candles so I can't say for sure if that's true. My understanding is once Gekko sees a candle close price, whether 1 minute or 15 minutes, that meets the logic defined in the strategy, it will immediately provide the buy/sell advice. So it shouldn't miss the price by that much. But that's just my assumption and from backtesting, not live trading.

If it isn't crypto, it isn't worth mining, it isn't worth speculating.
