⭐ Instant vs Market vs Exchange Execution Forex

Forex brokers offer Instant and Market Execution only


Execution Definition

Instant execution

  • Orders filled at the exact price quoted by the broker
  • If price is no longer available, a requote is given

Market execution

  • Orders filled at current market price (price may shift)
  • Prices are sourced from liquidity providers and aggregated to form best price offer
  • Requotes are eliminated due to ability to fill orders at next available price

Exchange execution

  • Orders filled externally (on the exchange) at current market price, according with the current market depth (DOM)
  • Exchange execution is not applicable to Forex trading since Forex in not traded on the exchange. Forex is an OTC (Over-the-Counter) market

Request execution

  • A trader requests price from broker in advance. Order is filled upon mutual agreement on price.
  • Request execution has not found its place in Forex trading

Execution type/mode is chosen & set by each Forex broker

Traders can't choose the execution type, it is preset by the broker.
