What is market execution?

Market execution is a method you can use to open and close positions on the market. Market orders are always filled at the best available price. When compared to instant execution, market execution is:

  • Faster (orders are executed in milliseconds)
  • Guaranteed to execute orders with no requotes (the price comes directly from the market)
  • More prone to slippage during high volatility (which may result in better or worse prices)

At XM, we always provide you with superior market execution, ensuring your orders are placed quickly and at the requested price. This also means that you’re almost 100% guaranteed to have your order filled.
