The Price You See Is Not the Price You Get

Slippage is the gap between the quote and your fill, and it scales with your size relative to what actually trades.

This lesson is part of a Stock Alerts + Tools plan.

What the lesson covers

  1. 0:00The quote on your screen is for a small order. Yours may not be small.
  2. 0:05Where it comes from. The quote shows the best price and a limited size. Beyond that you pay more.
  3. 0:14Size relative to volume. The number that matters is your order as a share of the daily volume.
  4. 0:24When it gets worse. At the open, at the close, around news, and in anything thinly traded.
  5. 0:33The compounding cost. Slippage is paid on entry and again on exit, on every single trade.
  6. 0:41Measure your size against the volume before you send it.
