What is slippage?
Slippage is when an order is filled at a price other than the requested price.
Our quoted prices are executable the majority of the time. In fast-moving markets, orders may be executed at a price which has ceased to be the best market price. Limit orders will always be filled at the price asked or better.
Do pending orders expire?
Pending orders, such as stops and limits, can be executed End of Day (EOD) or Good 'til Cancelled (GTC) on FOREX.com platforms.
End of Day (EOD) orders automatically expire at 5pm ET on the same day the order was entered.
