Slippage refers to the difference between the price you request and the price at which your order is actually executed. This occurs when the requested price is not available in the market, and your order is filled at the next best available price. Slippage can work in your favor or against you, depending on market conditions.

At FXON, we provide a stable server environment and high execution quality to minimize slippage. However, due to market dynamics, orders may not always be filled at the requested price, and slippage may occur.

Slippage is more likely to occur under the following conditions.

  • Periods of low market liquidity
  • Around major economic data releases or statements from key officials
  • During sudden or unexpected market events
  • During times of high trading volume

In MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5), you can adjust the allowable slippage range in your order settings. However, in highly volatile market conditions, execution may still occur outside the specified range.

For information on how to set the slippage tolerance, please refer to the following link.

A requote occurs when the requested price is no longer available in the market, and your order cannot be executed until a new or alternative price is offered and accepted.

At FXON, we maintain liquidity through our proprietary dark pool and partnerships with liquidity providers. We also operate under an STP (Market Execution) + OTC model, which enables orders to be executed immediately at the current market price. This creates a trading environment where requotes are unlikely to occur. However, as with slippage, we cannot guarantee the complete elimination of requotes.

For more information on our order execution policy, please refer to the following page.
