Slippage in Trading Explained | Trendo Positive and Negative

Slippage Guide on Trendo Trading Platform

In financial markets, especially during high volatility or low liquidity conditions, trade orders may be executed at a price different from the requested price. This phenomenon, known as slippage, can affect trading outcomes.

What is Slippage?

Slippage occurs when a trader’s order is executed at a price different from the expected price. This difference may be caused by rapid market price changes or delays in order execution.

Types of Slippage

  • Positive Slippage: Occurs when the order is executed at a better price than requested, potentially resulting in higher profits for the trader.

  • Negative Slippage: Occurs when the order is executed at a worse price than requested, which may lead to increased losses.

Factors Affecting Slippage

  • Market Volatility: The likelihood of slippage increases during periods of high market fluctuations.

  • Low Liquidity: In markets with low trading volumes, orders may experience delays, resulting in slippage.

  • Order Execution Type: Slippage is more likely with Market Execution compared to Instant Execution.
