Slippage

The difference, measured in pips, between the price a trader expects the positions to be filled at, and the price they are actually executed at. Because the Forex market is the world's most liquid and arguably most efficient, it leads to orders typically being filled with limited amounts of slippage. Nevertheless, slippage may occur in fast moving and volatile markets due to buying or selling pressure.
