What is a Trading Gap and how does it affect my orders?

A trading gap occurs when the market opens at a significantly different price than it closed—commonly after weekends or major news events.

During a gap:

  • Your pending orders, including Stop Loss and Take Profit, may be executed at the next available price, not the exact level set

  • This can cause slippage, especially during high volatility

Trading gaps are normal, and Atmexx's execution policy is designed to fill orders at the best possible price.
