Slippage

Basics

Qué significa

The difference between the price you expected and the price you actually got. It happens when price moves between your click and your fill.

Ejemplo

You click buy on a fast-moving stock at $100.00, but the fill comes at $100.30. The $0.30 gap is slippage -- on 1,000 shares that is $300 gone before any profit.

Error común de principiantes

Beginners use market orders in volatile stocks and act shocked by slippage. Slippage is not a broker scam; it is the math of demanding instant fills in fast markets.
