Important Trading Terms

Written by OMKAR

What is Slippage?

Slippage occurs when an order is executed at a different price than the price requested. This is a normal market occurrence and is most common during periods of high volatility, low liquidity, market openings, market closings, and major economic news releases.

Slippage may be either positive (better execution price) or negative (worse execution price), depending on available market liquidity at the time the order is executed.

Who is responsible for slippage?

Legion Funded does not control market liquidity or price execution and is not responsible for any losses, missed profits, or account breaches resulting from slippage.

By trading with Legion Funded, you acknowledge and accept that slippage is a natural characteristic of financial markets and that all resulting profits or losses remain the responsibility of the trader.


What are Spreads?

The spread is the difference between the Bid and Ask price of a trading instrument.

Spreads are determined by market liquidity and may widen or narrow depending on market conditions.

Spreads may increase significantly during:

  • High-impact economic news releases

  • Market open and market close

  • Low liquidity trading sessions

  • Bank holidays

  • Periods of elevated market volatility

Legion Funded does not manipulate spreads and is not responsible for trading results or account breaches caused by normal market spread fluctuations.


What is Swap (Overnight Financing)?

A swap, also known as an overnight financing fee, is a credit or charge applied to positions that remain open after the daily market rollover.

Swap rates vary depending on:

  • The trading instrument

  • Position direction (Buy or Sell)

  • Interest rate differentials

  • Market conditions

  • Liquidity providers

Swap charges or credits are automatically reflected in your trading account and are considered part of normal trading conditions.

Traders are responsible for monitoring and managing any swap costs associated with holding overnight positions.


What is the Rollover Period?

The rollover period is the daily market transition when trading positions are rolled over to the next trading day.

For Legion Funded accounts, the rollover occurs at 00:00 GMT+3 (Broker Time).

During the rollover period, traders may experience:

  • Wider spreads

  • Increased market volatility

  • Reduced liquidity

  • Slower execution speeds

  • Higher probability of slippage

These conditions are normal across the financial markets and are outside Legion Funded's control.


Can market conditions affect my account?

Yes.

Financial markets are dynamic, and conditions can change rapidly due to liquidity, volatility, news events, and global market activity.

Market conditions may result in:

  • Slippage

  • Wider spreads

  • Delayed execution

  • Partial fills

  • Swap charges

  • Increased volatility around rollover

These market conditions may affect open positions, pending orders, Stop Losses, Take Profits, and overall trading performance.


Is Legion Funded responsible for losses caused by market conditions?

No.

Legion Funded is not responsible for any trading losses, missed trading opportunities, account breaches, or profit reductions resulting from normal market conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Slippage

  • Spread widening

  • Swap charges

  • Market gaps

  • Low liquidity

  • High volatility

  • Delayed order execution

  • Rollover conditions

All traders are expected to understand these market risks and manage their positions accordingly.


Important Notice

All orders placed on your trading account are subject to real market conditions. Execution prices, spreads, liquidity, swaps, and slippage may vary depending on market activity and available liquidity.

By participating in the Legion Funded program, you acknowledge and accept these normal market risks. Legion Funded cannot guarantee specific execution prices or market conditions and accepts no liability for losses, account breaches, or reduced profits resulting from normal market behavior.
