Slippage, Latency, and Human Error in Fast Markets

Fast markets expose execution weaknesses instantly.

Slippage Is Not Random

Slippage increases when:

• Orders are delayed

• Market orders are used impulsively

• Execution systems are slow

Reducing slippage starts with reducing reaction time and human delay.

Latency Is Invisible — Until It Matters

Latency is often ignored by retail traders, yet even small delays can:

• Miss optimal fills

• Change risk-reward ratios

• Turn winning trades into losers

Execution tools minimize unnecessary delays between decision and action.

Human Error Is the Biggest Variable

Markets are chaotic — humans are inconsistent.

Execution systems exist to remove variability where it hurts most.
