Olla Trade operates as an execution-only service using a market execution model. When you place a trade, your order is processed through our trading infrastructure and submitted to available liquidity at the best price achievable under current market conditions.
Prices displayed in MetaTrader 4 are derived from aggregated quotes provided by our liquidity providers. These prices are variable and reflect real-time market conditions including supply and demand, overall market liquidity, and the time of the active trading session.
Execution quality may vary depending on market conditions. Olla Trade does not provide investment advice and does not guarantee execution at any specific price. Orders are subject to available liquidity and prevailing market conditions at the time of execution.
Order Routing & Execution Flow
When you submit an order in MetaTrader 4, it is transmitted to Olla Trade's execution infrastructure, validated against available margin and risk parameters, then routed to our liquidity pool. The best available price is selected and the fill confirmation is returned to your terminal.
Order Execution Explained
Understanding how different order types are processed. Execution quality may vary depending on market conditions and available liquidity.
Market Execution
Market orders are filled at the best available price at the time of execution. The final price may differ from the quoted price at the moment the order was placed, particularly in fast-moving market conditions.
Pending Orders
Pending orders instruct the platform to open a position when the market reaches a specified price. Types include Buy/Sell Limit and Buy/Sell Stop. Execution at the exact specified price is subject to available market liquidity.
Stop Loss Orders
A Stop Loss order automatically closes a position at a specified loss level. Stop Loss orders help limit potential losses but do not guarantee closure at the exact requested price, particularly during rapid price movements or market gaps.
Take Profit Orders
A Take Profit order closes a position automatically when the market reaches a specified profit target. Execution is subject to available market liquidity at the time the target price is reached.
Slippage
Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is actually executed. Slippage can occur in fast-moving or low-liquidity market conditions and can be positive or negative.
No Requote Policy
Olla Trade does not issue requotes on client orders. Under the market execution model, all orders are accepted and executed at the best available prevailing market price at the time of submission.

Understanding Slippage & Price Variation
Slippage is a normal and expected feature of trading in real financial markets. It occurs when the market moves between the moment you submit an order and the moment it is processed by our execution engine.
When Slippage Occurs
Slippage is most common during high market volatility, major economic news releases, and periods of low liquidity — such as outside regular trading hours or around market open/close.
Positive Slippage
Positive slippage occurs when your order is filled at a better price than requested — for example, a buy order fills lower than the requested price. This benefits the client.
Negative Slippage
Negative slippage occurs when your order is filled at a worse price than requested. This can happen during rapid market movements or when large orders consume available liquidity at the requested price.
Managing Slippage
Use limit orders instead of market orders where possible. Avoid trading immediately around major economic data releases. Monitor the economic calendar and apply appropriate position sizing.
Available Order Types
MetaTrader 4 supports a range of order types to help you manage your trading positions. All order types are subject to prevailing market conditions and available liquidity.
Market Order
Executed immediately at the best available current market price. The fill price may differ from the quoted price at the moment the order is placed.
Buy/Sell Limit
Pending order to open at a more favourable price than current market. A Buy Limit opens below current price; a Sell Limit opens above.
Buy/Sell Stop
Pending order to open beyond the current market level. A Buy Stop triggers above current price; a Sell Stop triggers below.
Stop Loss
Automatically closes a losing position when the market reaches a specified level. Execution is not guaranteed at the exact price during rapid price movements.
Take Profit
Automatically closes a profitable position when the market reaches a target price. Subject to market conditions and available liquidity at the time of execution.
Execution Risk Warning
Trading financial instruments involves a significant level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose all or more than your initial investment.
In volatile market conditions, prices may move rapidly and significantly. Execution of orders — including Stop Loss and Take Profit orders — may occur at prices different from those requested. Price gapping can occur when markets reopen after closures.
Spreads may widen substantially around major economic events, outside regular market hours, and during periods of low liquidity. These widened spreads reflect actual market conditions and are not within Olla Trade's control.
