We practice treating every client fairly and openly, and we adopt the common practice of dealing with slippage in the industry. CWG will not interfere with the client’s transaction and the price at which the order is actually executed, so as to ensure that the customer receives the real-time and accurate quotation. Price improvement, also known as ‘positive slippage’, occurs in fast-moving markets when the price changes between the time you place your trade, or when your order is triggered, and the time your order is executed. In this case we won’t reject your trade or order, we will simply execute it at the better price. Under each circumstance, CWG will bring about more rational price to the clients under the market trend. However, under equal condition, the price will also be low under declining market trend. All quotations of clients come from CWG partners and in order to ensure that our customers can get the most advantageous price under the favorable market trend, we have invested heavily to choose the most reputable and powerful liquidity providers.
