Request execution: This is a two-step process, the first being a price request, the final step being the trader’s decision on whether to execute the order at the provided price or to decline. The advantage of request execution is a guarantee of the order being fulfilled at the price quoted.
Market execution: Orders are executed at the broker ’s price, which may differ from what is shown on the trading platform, the disadvantage being a possible deviation from the displayed price during the periods of heightened volatility.
