Ultima Markets employs a market execution model, filling trades and orders at current prices that may differ due to constant market fluctuations.
How market execution works
| Item | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Execution price | Orders are executed at the available market price when the order reaches the market. |
| Price movement | The final execution price may be higher or lower than the price seen in the trading platform. |
| Execution speed | Orders may be filled within a short period, depending on market conditions and system processing. |
| Slippage possibility | Because prices change continuously, slippage may occur. |
What this means for traders
| Situation | Possible outcome |
|---|---|
| Market is stable | The execution price may be close to the displayed price. |
| Market is volatile | The final execution price may differ from the expected price. |
| Liquidity is low | The order may be executed at the next available price. |
| Price changes quickly | The requested price may no longer be available. |
Important notes
- Market execution does not guarantee execution at the exact price displayed in the terminal.
- The final execution price may be better or worse than the expected price.
- Slippage is possible during fast-moving or low-liquidity market conditions.
