Execution of Orders

Definition

Execution of orders refers to the process of completing a buy or sell request for a financial asset. This process involves transmitting a client’s instruction to a trading venue, matching it with a counterparty, and finalizing the transaction according to specified terms. In digital asset markets, execution speed, price accuracy, and minimal slippage are critical factors for traders. Optimal execution strategies consider market liquidity, volatility, and the technological infrastructure of the trading platform to achieve the best possible outcome for the client.
