What is slippage, and how does it affect my trading costs?
Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which it is executed. How it affects your trading costs
Slippage can be either positive or negative, meaning your trade may be executed at a better or worse price than you originally expected. Because it changes the execution price, it directly impacts the final cost of your trade.What causes slippage?
Slippage is a normal part of trading that typically occurs due to market conditions, such as:
- High market volatility: Fast price movements, such as during major news events, can cause prices to change before your order is processed.
- Low liquidity: When there are not enough orders at your desired price, your order may be filled at the next best available price.
- Large orders: If you place a large order that cannot be fully filled at a single price point, parts of the order may be executed at different, less favorable prices.
