Firstly, hardware factors, such as network delay, software system and server response when the price of gold fluctuates greatly, lead to the inconsistency between the transaction price and the pending order price.
Second, human factors, such as the background manipulation of gold traders, make the quotation of gold trading platform different from the actual quotation, which leads to the failure of gold and silver traders to buy in time when they should buy and sell in time. Generally speaking, it is difficult for investors to distinguish what causes the slippage, so it also brings opportunities for some illegal traders to obtain illegitimate interests.
But there are many situations that traders can't control, and the reason is the liquidity of funds. Generally speaking, retail investors are most concerned about foreign exchange companies, because the spread is low and the interest of customers is low. However, many retail investors have neglected an important factor behind the price, liquidity. Liquidity follows. At present, the market is the largest amount that can be traded. Suppose that the price of Euro to USD seen by customers on the platform is 1.3000, and the acceptable trading volume of the market at this price is USD 5 million. What if the customer orders $6 million? Among them, USD 5 million will be sold at 1.3000, and the remaining USD 1 10,000 will be sold at the following price, which may be 1.3005438+0 or higher.
