Get better prices
We always aim to offer you the price you’ve asked for or better, as we uphold best execution and fair dealing practices.
Markets can move in milliseconds during periods of high volatility. This can mean that by the time we receive your order, the price has changed. However, our order system ensures that you'll not receive a worse price than the one you have requested.
Even in turbulent times, our negative slippage have remained low4 and can even be prevented altogether with our guaranteed stops. And unlike other brokers, we always pass on our positive slippage, so if we receive a better price, so do you.5

7 We price our Volatility Index (VIX) and EU Volatility Index contracts in a different way to the rest of our cash index markets. Rather than aiming to replicate the underlying index price, we follow the method used to derive our undated commodity prices. This means there is a difference between our undated price and the underlying index price on these markets. Funding is also calculated in line with the undated commodity method. Please see our overnight funding page for more details.
