What is maximum deviation?

Maximum deviation is the amount of slippage you are willing to accept. For example if the market is at 1.5000 and you put in an order to buy, if your standard deviation is set to 2, you will be willing to accept any price from 1.5000 to 1.5002. It increases your chance of getting filled at the prices you want.
