If you notice that your orders are being executed at a different price than expected, or there is a delay between placing and filling an order, this may be due to market volatility, latency, or how slippage tolerance is set in your platform.

Slippage and execution delays are normal under certain conditions, particularly during high-impact news events, low liquidity periods, or fast-moving markets.

To manage this more effectively:

• Set a reasonable slippage tolerance.
  In the order window, use the “Deviation” field to define how much slippage you’re willing to accept (in points). A higher value increases the likelihood of order execution during volatile periods.
• Avoid peak volatility when possible.
  Slippage is more likely during major news releases or market opens. If precise entry is important, consider trading during more stable periods.
• Check your internet and system performance.
  A stable internet connection and responsive platform help reduce local delays in order submission.
• Limit background activity on MT4/MT5.
  Closing unused charts, indicators, or Expert Advisors can improve performance and reduce delays in processing your trade requests.
• Use limit orders for more control.
  If you want to avoid any price difference, use pending limit orders instead of market orders. Limit orders will only be filled at your specified price or better.

These steps allow you to minimize unexpected execution outcomes without making changes to your account settings.
