Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which it is executed. This can happen when market conditions change rapidly, especially during periods of high volatility or major Forex news releases.
Why Does Slippage Occur?
Slippage occurs because prices fluctuate in real time, and by the time an order reaches the market, the price may have already changed. It can be:
🔹Positive Slippage – When the trade is executed at a better price than requested.
🔹Negative Slippage – When the trade is executed at a worse price than requested.
Slippage in Market Execution
At Eurotrader, we use market execution, meaning all orders are sent directly to the market for fulfillment at the best available price. Since we work with multiple liquidity providers, price variations may occur, leading to differences in:
🔹Opening and closing prices
🔹Highs and lows displayed on charts
This is why slippage is a natural part of trading — especially in fast-moving markets.
