What is slippage?

Slippage is when an order is executed at a different price than where you specified. If you place a buy order at 7500, but it executes at 7502, for example, it has been hit by slippage – because you’ve bought the underlying market at a higher price than your order.

Slippage can occur in fast-moving markets, when prices move beyond the level you can see on our platform before we’re able to execute your order. There are a few different ways of limiting the risk of slippage in your trading, including using limit orders or guaranteed stop-loss orders.
