Trade Execution

Trade execution is the process of completing a buy or sell order for stocks, bonds, or other securities. When you place an order through a broker, the broker or trading platform works to find a matching bid or ask in the market and then carries out the transaction. Efficient trade execution ensures your order is filled accurately and at the best possible price, often within seconds. Factors affecting this include market liquidity, order type, and timing. Overall, it’s the crucial step that turns your investment intentions into real, completed transactions in the financial markets.
