Why did my trade execute at a different price?
Your trade may have been executed at a different price due to slippage.
This happens when the market moves between the moment you place your order and the moment it is executed.
Common reasons include:
- Fast market movements (e.g. during news events)
- Low liquidity in the market
- Placing a market order, which executes at the next best available price
Slippage can be positive or negative, meaning you may get a better or worse price than expected.
