"Slippage in the context of Contract for Differences (CFDs) in general can be attributed to various factors.
1. Market volatility: High volatility can lead to rapid price movements, making it difficult for orders to be executed at the requested price.
2. Market Liquidity: When there are not enough buyers or sellers at a specific price point, it can be challenging to execute orders without incurring Slippage.
3. Size of the Order: Large orders can cause Slippage because they may not be fully filled at the desired price. The market may not have sufficient liquidity to accommodate large trades without price movement.
4. News Events: Unexpected news, such as economic reports or geopolitical events can lead to sudden price spikes or drops.
5. Gaps in the market: Overnight or weekend gaps can result in Slippage, order can only be executed into the market when there is available price."
