Slippage
Slippage occurs when an order is executed at a price that is different from the submitted order.
For example if you place and order for 10 $VYFI at 2ADA but the transaction is not executed until 2.1ADA, the prices spread between the trade’s intended price and executed price is called slippage.
Slippage Types
1. Negative slippage: Occurs when a trade order is filled (executed) at a price greater than the expected price.
For example, trader A intended to buy 10 VYFI at 10 ADA, but the trade order was finally filled at 10.5 ADA, .5 ADA higher than anticipated. Trader A paid .5 ADA more than expected for the trade, which is a negative slippage.
2. Positive slippage: Occurs when a trade order is filled (executed) at a price lower than the expected price.
For example, trader A intended to buy 10 VYFI at 10 ADA, but the trade order was finally filled at 9.5 ADA, .5 ADA lower than anticipated. Trader A paid .5 ADA less than expected for the trade, which is a positive slippage.
