Slippage occurs when a trade is executed at a different price than the one requested. This can happen in fast-moving markets, during high volatility, or when there is limited liquidity, as prices may change between the time you place an order and when it is executed.

 

Slippage can be positive or negative—your trade may be filled at a better price than expected or at a slightly worse one. It is a normal part of Forex and CFD trading and reflects real market conditions rather than an error or additional fee.
