El deslizamiento positivo significa que la operaci\u00f3n se ejecut\u00f3 a un precio mejor de lo esperado, mientras que el deslizamiento negativo significa que se ejecut\u00f3 a un precio peor. El deslizamiento ocurre porque los precios se mueven continuamente, y el tiempo entre la colocaci\u00f3n de una orden y la ejecuci\u00f3n de la orden es suficiente para que el mercado cambie, particularmente en \u00f3rdenes m\u00e1s grandes o durante condiciones vol\u00e1tiles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las causas m\u00e1s comunes son la volatilidad del mercado en torno a eventos noticiosos, baja liquidez en instrumentos espec\u00edficos o en momentos espec\u00edficos, y tama\u00f1os de \u00f3rdenes m\u00e1s grandes que no pueden ser ejecutadas a un solo nivel de precio. Un stop loss activado durante un movimiento brusco del mercado puede ejecutarse varios puntos por debajo del precio de stop si la liquidez es escasa. Los comunicados econ\u00f3micos programados, las decisiones de los bancos centrales y las noticias repentinas a menudo crean ventanas cortas donde el deslizamiento es significativamente mayor de lo normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El deslizamiento puede afectar una cuenta de una firma de trading propietaria de dos maneras importantes. Primero, puede hacer que los stop losses se ejecuten a precios peores de lo planeado, produciendo p\u00e9rdidas mayores de las que el trader pretend\u00eda. Segundo, esas p\u00e9rdidas mayores pueden acercar la cuenta al l\u00edmite de p\u00e9rdida diario o al drawdown m\u00e1ximo, y en algunos casos desencadenar un incumplimiento.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"glossary-category":[131],"class_list":["post-6421","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary-category-trader-glossary"],"acf":{"target_keyword":"slippage","glossary_post_image":"","key_takeaway":"Key Takeaway","key_takeaway_description":"Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual execution price. It is most pronounced during volatile conditions, news events, and on illiquid instruments. ","faq":"<b>Is slippage always bad?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. Slippage can be positive or negative. Positive slippage means the trade filled at a better price than expected. Negative slippage means it filled worse. In practice, negative slippage is more common on stop-loss orders during fast moves, while positive slippage happens occasionally on limit orders when the market jumps favorably past the limit price.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>How can traders reduce slippage?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using limit orders instead of market orders is the most direct way to control execution price, though limit orders also carry the risk of not filling at all. Avoiding trades around major news releases, trading more liquid instruments, and using smaller position sizes all help reduce the likelihood of meaningful slippage.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Does slippage count against my drawdown?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. If a trade executes at a worse price due to slippage, the resulting loss counts toward the account's drawdown just like any other loss. This is one reason why planning position sizes with some tolerance for execution variance matters, particularly if the strategy involves holding through volatile periods.<\/span>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/6421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary-category?post=6421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
