Execution

The process of completing a trade order in the market.

Full Definition

Execution refers to the completion of a buy or sell order in the forex market. Execution quality depends on speed, price accuracy, and slippage. Market orders execute immediately at the best available price, while limit orders execute only at the specified price or better. Fast and reliable execution is critical for scalpers and news traders where milliseconds matter.
