Slippage Reduction

Definition

Slippage reduction refers to strategies and mechanisms designed to minimize the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which the trade executes. This discrepancy, known as slippage, often occurs in volatile markets or with large orders that significantly affect available liquidity. Effective slippage reduction aims to ensure that users receive a price as close as possible to their quoted rate. Techniques include smart order routing, liquidity aggregation, and setting price tolerance limits.
