Why does slippage occur?

Slippage occurs when there is a difference between the submitted order price and the actual execution price. This often happens when the market is highly volatile or liquidity is insufficient. It is especially common right after news releases or during periods of sudden trading volume spikes. In some cases, slippage can be positive, resulting in a better price, while in other cases it can worsen losses. MIM operates high-performance servers and fast execution systems to minimize slippage.
