Slippage

Definition

The difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which it actually executes, typically occurring during high volatility or low liquidity.

Example

During NFP, the stop loss was placed at 1.0700 but executed at 1.0690 due to 1-pip slippage in volatile conditions.
