Slippage is a slight execution price movement that may occur due to the lack of liquidity behind the requested price or when it's been taken by other traders' orders. It can also happen due to market gaps. Slippage should be factored in as one of the risks when trading with an ECN broker (financial intermediary that uses electronic communications networks or ECNs) since it cannot guarantee that your order will be executed at the requested price. However, our system is set up to fill orders at the next best available price whenever slippage occurs. Please be aware that slippage can be both positive and negative, and we cannot influence this factor.
