Slippage on Central Exchange

Recommended Posts

i can understand slippage, with an unregulated market, with multiple market makers,

but at a central exchange how does that work?

 

specifically a limit order on the price ladder, suppose news event

such that many buyers and few sellers. now if you have a limit order to

sell, each step of the ladder has to get filled before the next price increment

up... or am i wrong in that assumption? otherwise, it would be like

waiting in line, and someone cut in front of you... so what is the reason?

wether or not there is an imbalance of buyers and sellers,

each price level has to be filled in order, right?

::or am i wrong in that assumption

 

Exactly that you are.

 

Every relevant ORDER has to be filled. Not every step may have orders, and expecially not in enough volume to get you executed.

 

I suggest watching the YM futures contract - it is not exactly a HEAVY market compared to the ES. Then watch before major news, and you will be surprised. I have seen the next 5 steps of the latter in each direction consist of less than 10 contracts TOTAL, normally you have 40-50 on one price each.

 

If there is noone on the other side, for the matching price, then the price can gladly move without.... any trading.

yes every order needs to be filled, so why the slippage, if the step does have an

order placed?

Because the order needs a matchuing opposite order.

 

If you have a stop, it is NOT in the ist of orders to execute at the stop price. Once a trade (the first) happens at the stop price, the trigger is removed and the stop order turns into a MARKET order. It goes then into the END OF THE LIST OF ALL MARKET ORDERS.

 

If at that point there are more market orders in the list than limit orders on that price, the opposite orders get eaten up, the price moves and then you execute.

 

Example: You have a stop at (YM taken, nice points) 9500. There are 51 asks to sell there. Price is triggered - your stop (of 1 contract) turns into a market order, there are (without new asks coming in) a maximum of 50 now there (because one had to sell to trigger the stop. If you go into the end of the list of market and limit orders (and where you go there may depend how old your stop is - older stops have priority) at position 60 (all one lot, to keep things easy).... you dont fill at that price... because the price od 9500 is eaten up by the orders in front of you. Now, if the market is really thin, the orders in front of you may eat up a couple of ticks.

 

Trick here is:

* Your stop turns market order and goes into the end of the trade list.

* Stops are evaluated in historical orders, so someone putting his stop in BEFORE YOU.... gets into the market before you.

* I am not sure how that is handled for modified orders. Would be fair to put a modified order to the end of the list, at least when it contains a price change.

 

Slippage naturally happens when the amount of orders triggered and processed in the market overwhelms the resistance price.

 

Seriously, this is not something for a technical laboratory - that is total beginner stuff. Get a book like "Trading Futures for Dummies".

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
