At ShareAFunds.com, we are committed to providing a seamless and transparent trading experience. Here's how we handle slippage and order execution:

Order Execution:

• Simulated Trading Environment: Since ShareAFunds operates in a simulated trading environment, the execution of orders is designed to replicate real market conditions as closely as possible. This includes the simulation of spreads, liquidity, and market depth.
• Instant Execution: Orders are typically executed instantly in the simulated environment, meaning that when you place a trade, it will be executed at the price you see, provided there are no market gaps or significant volatility at that moment.

Slippage:

• Definition of Slippage: Slippage occurs when the price at which an order is executed differs from the price at which it was requested. This can happen during periods of high volatility or low liquidity, where the market moves rapidly between the time you place your order and the time it is executed.
• Simulated Slippage: In our simulated environment, slippage is also replicated to reflect real market conditions. This means that, just like in a live market, your orders may occasionally experience slippage during high-impact news events or times of low liquidity.
• Positive and Negative Slippage: Slippage can be either positive or negative. Positive slippage occurs when your order is filled at a better price than requested, while negative slippage means it is filled at a worse price. Both scenarios are possible in our simulated environment, depending on market conditions at the time of execution.

Order Types:

• Market Orders: These are executed at the best available price in the simulated market at the time the order is placed. Slippage is more likely with market orders during volatile market conditions.
• Limit Orders: These are executed at the specified price or better. Limit orders can help you avoid negative slippage but may not be filled if the market does not reach the specified price.
• Stop Orders: These trigger a market order when the specified stop price is reached. Similar to market orders, stop orders may experience slippage in volatile conditions.

Risk Management:

• Order Confirmation: All trades are confirmed in real-time within the trading platform, allowing you to see the exact price at which your orders are executed.
• No Re-Quotes: We do not re-quote prices, ensuring that what you see is what you get in terms of order execution, with the understanding that slippage may occur in volatile markets.

Monitoring and Transparency:

• Performance Tracking: You can monitor all your executed trades, including any slippage that may have occurred, directly through the trading platform's history tab. This transparency allows you to assess how slippage is affecting your trading strategy.
• Realistic Conditions: By replicating slippage and market conditions, ShareAFunds aims to provide traders with a realistic experience that prepares them for live trading environments.

In summary, ShareAFunds.com handles slippage and order execution by closely simulating real market conditions in its trading environment. While slippage is a natural part of trading, we ensure that it is handled fairly and transparently, providing you with an experience that closely mirrors live trading scenarios.
