Slippage

Slippage occurs when the order is filled with the price that is different from the requested price. The difference between the expected fill price and the actual fill price is the “slippage”.Slippage happens during high periods of volatility, such as during breaking news or economic data releases.Market prices can change quickly, allowing slippage to occur during the delay between a trade order being processed and when it is completed.
