This applies I suppose to forex mainly, but spreadbetting or something off exchange could be included.
Suppose I am trading with a broker, and I am long and have a limit order at 1.2799 and 1.2800 to exit, and price rapidly moves directly on my screen to 1.2804, based on the brokers bid-ask, and yet my execution is delayed for a second (noticeable) and is then filled at 1.2799 and 1.2800.
How does one know whether this is just a fair execution, or whether my internet or computer slowed in those seconds or whether you've been ripped off a few pips?
I remember that certain brokers were fined for things like this, but how could one provide evidence to report it.Keep track of asymmetric slippage?
