How Does Ctrader Handle Closing Large Volume Buy and Sell Orders Simultaneously?
04 Nov 2014, 06:39


I am just testing a Cbot that at times will simultaneously close  a large volume of buy and sell orders.

Would I see a lot of slippage? or will ctrader  or my broker offset my orders so i do not see much slippage?

Example:

close  12 Million sell order

close 16 Million buy order

In a relatively slow volume period.

would these 2 orders offset right at my broker therefore encountering no slippage except for the final 4 Million?

Does anyone have any realtime live experience that could tell me how a transaction like this would be handled?

Thanks

Hello,

Your orders are not offset. Every order will be transferred for execution in the liquidity provider independently.

The execution prices for market orders, and the slippage you get depend on the liquidity provider.
