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 CITY, Aug 14: United Projects for Aviation Services Company (UPAC), a commercial real estate and facilities management company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 2025, the company reported net profits of KD 497 thousand, down 62% from 2024, or 0.94 fils per share, with revenues of KD 3.29 million down 25.6% from 2024.
Eng. Hamad Malallah, Chief Executive Officer at UPAC, said: “The second quarter presented a transitional period as we successfully concluded the project to manage and operate Terminal 1 at Kuwait International Airport, officially handing it over to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in May 2025. While this shift has naturally impacted the company’s revenues, it also paves the way for new avenues of growth and development as we focus on future projects and strategic partnerships. It is important to note that UPAC built the entire project and operated it throughout the contract term before transferring it to the DGCA under the Build, Operate, and Transfer (BOT) system. We take great pride in the success of this national project over 26-year and in delivering it to the State.”
Malallah continued: “I’m pleased to share that in July, we welcomed our first operator at Messilah Beach: Villa Shams, Kuwait’s first ladies-only beach club. Officially opened on 10 July 2025, Villa Shams offers a premium, private experience designed exclusively for women, in a secure and refined setting. This milestone reflects UPAC’s vision to create inclusive recreational environments that cater to all segments of society.”
“Planning for other areas on the Messilah Beach site has also been progressing steadily. Our teams are actively working alongside confirmed operators, both global and local brands, to support their on-ground preparations for upcoming openings with a list of exciting tenants. We are looking forward to be bringing an exceptional, family-friendly beach destination experience to Kuwait through Messilah Beach, which is set to become a vibrant, year-round destination,” added Malallah.
Malallah concluded: “We remain committed to identifying and pursuing strategic business opportunities within our industry that drive growth and create value for the company and its shareholders.”
Al Messilah Beach, one of Kuwait’s prime family entertainment destinations, was developed by Touristic Enterprises Company as part of its role in spearheading growth of Kuwait’s tourism sector. UPAC is managing all aspects of the site including leasing, entertainment activities, facility management, and overall project operations.
UPAC is a co-investor in Abu Dhabi’s $1.3 billion Reem Mall on Reem Island. Reem Mall is Abu Dhabi’s latest signature shopping, dining, and entertainment family destination spanning an impressive 183.4K sqm GLA. Anchored by a hyper-market and various notable entertainment and home furnishing concepts, the mall will be home to around 400 international and local brands. Snow Abu Dhabi, one of the mall’s entertainment anchors, is the city’s only snow park. The mall also has one of the largest home furnishing offerings in Abu Dhabi as well as one of the largest Carrefour outlets in the city. One of the prominent new openings was Sharaf DG, an expansive 3,334sqm electronics retail space with 34 brand experience zones making it the largest store of its kind in Abu Dhabi.
The mall is one of the region’s first fully integrated omnichannel retail ecosystems with digital, e-commerce, and logistics capabilities. It brings together all consumer and retail services to ensure a seamless customer experience.
As of June 2025, around 66% of GLA is open and trading, with an additional 14% under fit-out, bringing the effective leased GLA to 80%. As of date, Reem Mall has also secured signed proposals covering a further 4% of GLA. Key performance metrics continue to show strong momentum, with footfall and tenant sales increasing by 30% to 40% year-on-year. Notably, the mall achieved two consecutive record-breaking months in May and June 2025, setting new highs for both visitor numbers and sales.

MANILA, Philippines, Aug 14, (AP): Asian shares were mixed on Thursday after days of gains driven by hopes for lower US interest rates, while US futures slipped. Bitcoin rose more than 3% to a new record of over $123,000, according to CoinDesk. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 fell 1.3% to 42,705.36 as investors sold to lock in recent gains that have taken the benchmark to all-time records.
The Japanese yen rose against the dollar after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg that Japan was “behind the curve” in monetary tightening. He was referring to the slow pace of increases in Japan’s near-zero interest rates. Low interest rates tend to make the yen weaker against the dollar, giving Japanese exporters a cost advantage in overseas sales.
The dollar fell to 146.31 Japanese yen early Thursday, down from 147.39 yen. The euro fell to $1.1703 from $1.1705. In Chinese markets, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index shed less than 0.2% to 25,655.26, while the Shanghai composite index added 0.1% to 3,686.07. South Korea’s Kospi fell less than 0.1% to 3,222.99, while Australia’s S&P ASX 200 index added 0.5% to 8,866.70. Taiwan’s TAIEX fell 0.5%, while India’s Sensex edged 0.1% higher.
“Asian markets opened today like a party that ran out of champagne before midnight – the music still playing, but the dance floor thinning out,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. The futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down less than 0.1%. On Wednesday, US stocks ticked higher, extending a global rally fueled by hopes the Federal Reserve will cut USinterest rates.
The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 6,466.58, coming off its latest all-time high. The Dow climbed 1% to 44,922.27, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.1% to its own record set the day before, closing at 21,713.14. Treasury yields eased in the bond market in anticipation that the Fed will cut its main interest rate for the first time this year at its next meeting in September.
