Execution

How quickly and reliably your order is filled by the broker.

Execution is the process of your order being filled once you place it. Fast, reliable execution means your trade fills close to the price you saw, with minimal slippage or rejection. It matters most for scalpers and during volatile news, when prices move quickly.

Example

Fast execution fills your market order within milliseconds at, or very near, the quoted price.
