Understanding slippage and execution speed

In fast-moving markets, the price you see on your screen may differ from the price at which your order is executed. This difference is called slippage.

Why it happens:

• Market Volatility: During news events or high volume, prices change rapidly.
• Liquidity: Low liquidity on certain symbols can cause price gaps.

What you can do:

• Check the Spread: High spreads often accompany high volatility.
• Use Limit Orders: If you want to ensure you only trade at a specific price, use a Pending Order instead of Market Execution.
• Verify Settings: Ensure your 'Allow trading' and 'Allow expert advisors' settings are enabled in the terminal.

Note: Zuperior strives for fast execution, but we cannot control external market speed. Slippage is a standard feature of CFD trading.
