Why execution matters in trading: The impact of volatility and price precision on profitability
Imagine executing a trade at the perfect price, only to have slow order processing shift the price against you—not due to market conditions, but because of poor execution. A split-second delay can mean missing out on a profitable opportunity or, worse, suffering unexpected losses as prices move beyond your intended entry point. Even a fraction of a second can mean the difference between a successful trade and a missed opportunity.
Execution speed and price precision are two of the most important factors in trading. A delay of just a few milliseconds can impact the outcome of a trade—especially for high-frequency traders. Delays, slippage, and inconsistent pricing can all eat into potential gains, making execution quality a key consideration for traders of all experience levels. While maintaining better control over trading positions and reacting swiftly to sudden market movements are essential for success, execution speed becomes even more critical in volatile conditions. This is especially crucial for traders operating on tight margins, where even small price deviations can accumulate into significant losses.
A broker with fast and reliable execution ensures that trades are filled as intended, helping traders maintain control over their strategies. With Exness, traders benefit from fast execution speeds that reduce slippage and allow them to react swiftly to market movements. In fact, slippage on the majority of Exness accounts is less than 1%*.
Navigating market volatility
Volatility presents both opportunities and risks for traders. Rapid price movements offer the potential for significant gains while also exposing traders to increased uncertainty. When markets are volatile, execution speed becomes even more crucial. Any delay can lead to a trader entering or exiting a trade at a less favorable price, impacting overall returns.
During major economic events or unexpected news, price fluctuations can be extreme. Traders with slow execution may encounter slippage, where their orders are filled at a different price than intended. While positive slippage can work in a trader’s favor, negative slippage—where the executed price is worse than expected—can erode potential profits.
The importance of price precision
Accurate pricing is just as important as speed. Even a slight variation in execution price can affect profitability, particularly for high-frequency and short-term traders who operate on extremely thin margins. The difference of a few pips can be the deciding factor between a winning or losing trade.
By trading on a stable platform with minimal latency, deep liquidity, and reliable price feeds, traders can execute orders at the expected price with minimal deviation. Inaccurate or delayed price quotes can lead to costly errors, making it essential for traders to choose their broker wisely.
For scalpers and day traders executing multiple trades in short time frames, price deviations can accumulate into significant losses. To mitigate this, Exness provides real-time market data and minimal order execution delays, ensuring traders can rely on price accuracy.
Optimal execution with Exness
Built to support traders in fast-moving markets, Exness’ execution model ensures seamless entry and exit, with orders processed in milliseconds. Whether executing a high-frequency strategy or placing a single well-calculated trade, traders benefit from a highly efficient trading infrastructure designed to minimize slippage and maximize price accuracy.
Exness achieves this superior execution using a cutting-edge approach that differentiates it from competitors. By leveraging Smart Price Aggregation, Exness sources bid and ask prices from multiple top-tier liquidity providers, dynamically selecting the most favorable price for traders. Unlike some brokers that rely on a single or limited set of liquidity sources, Exness’ aggregation model continuously scans and adapts to market conditions, ensuring consistently competitive pricing with minimal slippage. This allows traders to benefit from more accurate order execution, even during periods of high volatility.
Instant vs. market execution
Exness offers both instant and market execution, each specifically tailored to different trading strategies. Instant execution ensures orders are executed at the requested price, making it ideal for traders who prioritize price certainty and strict risk management.
Market execution, on the other hand, fills orders at the best available market price, catering to those who need to act quickly in volatile conditions. This rapid execution is crucial during high-volatility events, where even the slightest delay can impact profitability. By delivering reliable execution with minimal slippage and requotes, Exness enables traders to react swiftly to market movements and capitalize on opportunities.
Full transparency at every stage
Another key element of Exness’ execution model is its emphasis on transparency. Traders have access to a public tick history, allowing them to verify past pricing data and backtest strategies with confidence. The platform’s execution policies ensure fair and consistent pricing, providing traders with deep liquidity and stable spreads even during volatile periods.
By combining ultra-fast execution, minimal slippage, and a commitment to transparency, Exness sets the benchmark for order execution quality, giving traders the all-important strategic edge they need to succeed in the financial markets.
Kuwait enhances Stock Exchange access for emerging firms with amendments to listing rules.
KUWAIT CITY, July 1: Kuwait’s Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has officially launched a new regulatory environment to support the listing and trading of emerging companies on the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE), in cooperation with Boursa Kuwait. The initiative includes the creation of a dedicated platform for these companies, alongside key amendments to existing listing rules.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the CMA confirmed that the move is part of broader efforts to adopt international best practices, promote capital market development, diversify investment tools, and enhance both market competitiveness and transparency — all aimed at bolstering investor protection.
The approved amendments focus on strengthening listing standards by requiring companies to maintain certain conditions, including minimum thresholds for free float shares and their market value. These measures are designed to improve liquidity and ensure sustained compliance with regulatory obligations.
The Authority emphasized that supporting emerging companies is crucial to driving economic growth and aligns with Kuwait’s broader strategic vision. The newly launched market will offer an attractive financing environment for smaller and growing enterprises while providing investors with fresh opportunities governed by high transparency standards.
The regulatory framework is the result of a comprehensive study conducted by the CMA, which formed the basis for drafting specific rules to govern the emerging companies market. The platform is intended to serve as both a support system for these businesses and a dynamic investment space in line with global benchmarks.
The CMA also underscored the importance of continuously evolving the rules that govern listing conditions. This includes safeguarding investor interests by removing companies that fail to meet their obligations and ensuring adequate liquidity by enforcing minimum requirements for free float shares in both the primary and secondary market segments.
Additionally, the Authority reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing executive regulations that protect investors and empower small shareholders to actively participate in corporate decision-making processes.
This latest move is seen as a significant step toward further modernizing Kuwait’s financial sector and creating a more inclusive and diversified capital market landscape.
The Kuwait government approves tougher measures to tackle financial crimes.
KUWAIT CITY, June 30: Kuwait is intensifying efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing by enhancing its legislative framework, announced Minister of Finance and Minister of State for Economic Affairs and Investment Noura Al-Fassam on Monday.
The minister spoke in a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance following the publication of Decree Law No. (76) of 2025 in the official gazette, Kuwait Today. This decree introduces important amendments to Law No. (106) of 2013, reflecting Kuwait’s integrated government efforts to strengthen measures against financial crimes.
During the Cabinet meeting on June 17, the draft of the amended decree law was approved, underlining Kuwait’s commitment to raising the effectiveness of the national response to money laundering and terrorism financing. The amendments align with the requirements of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and relevant international standards.
The new decree law includes two significant amendments:
- Article One replaces Article (25) of Law No. (106) of 2013, empowering the Council of Ministers, upon the recommendation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to issue necessary decisions to implement United Nations Security Council resolutions related to terrorism, terrorism financing, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. These decisions will take effect immediately upon issuance, consistent with Security Council Resolution No. 1373 of 2001. The executive regulations will define the rules for publishing these decisions, appealing them, authorizing the release of frozen funds for essential living expenses, and managing such assets.n
- Article Two adds a new Article (33 bis) to Law No. (106) of 2013, stating that any violation of decisions issued under Article (25) will result in fines ranging from 10,000 to 500,000 Kuwaiti dinars per violation. This penalty complements any additional sanctions imposed by regulatory authorities on financial institutions or designated non-financial businesses.n
The Ministry emphasized that these amendments support the National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing by broadening its powers to apply targeted financial sanctions in compliance with FATF standards. This includes the mandatory freezing of assets belonging to individuals and entities listed locally as terrorists, effective immediately upon decision issuance.
Furthermore, the amendments enable the Committee to impose fines on violators and require publishing the national list of designated terrorists on the Committee’s official website, enhancing transparency and meeting international obligations.
Minister Al-Fassam concluded that the updated legislative measures reaffirm Kuwait’s strong commitment to fighting financial crimes, safeguarding national security and stability, and fulfilling its global responsibilities.
