Exness Slippage rule

When trading financial markets, price movements can happen faster than your order reaches the server. This difference in timing may cause your trade to be executed at a slightly different price than requested. This is called slippage. The Exness Slippage rule explains how the platform handles such situations, ensuring transparency and stability in order execution.
Slippage is a natural part of trading, especially in fast or low-liquidity markets. But knowing how Exness deals with slippage helps traders plan more accurately, protect capital, and avoid unexpected surprises during execution.

Exness Slippage Rule

What Is the Exness Slippage Rule?

The Exness Slippage rule defines how trades are executed when the market price changes between the time you send your order and when it’s filled. If the requested price is no longer available, the order will still be executed, but at the next best available price — unless you’ve limited slippage using the deviation setting.

Slippage affects all market orders and pending orders (such as stop orders) that are triggered during price volatility or low liquidity. However, Exness maintains fair execution policies, meaning slippage can go both ways — positive or negative.

When Slippage Happens in Exness

Slippage can occur in many trading situations, especially under specific market conditions. Knowing when it is most likely helps you prepare your trades more effectively.

Common scenarios for slippage:

During high-impact news events
In low liquidity sessions, such as weekends or holidays
When trading volatile instruments like crypto or exotic pairs
On larger volume trades where order book depth matters
If the internet connection delays order transmission

Types of Orders Affected by Slippage

Market Orders	✔️	Executed at best available price
Stop Orders	✔️	Triggered when price reaches condition
Limit Orders	❌	Executed only at requested price or better
Take Profit / Stop Loss	✔️	May be filled at worse price during spikes

The Exness Slippage rule applies mainly to orders that must be executed instantly or based on market triggers.

Slippage Outcomes and Their Meaning

Slippage Type	Description	Trader Impact
Positive	Trade executed at a better price	Trader gains extra pips
Negative	Trade executed at a worse price	Entry/exit cost increases

Not all slippage is bad — positive slippage can work in your favor.
