\"Slippage<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Imagine you are buying vegetables at the market. You see tomatoes selling at \u20b940 per kilo, but by the time you walk to the shop and ask for two kilos, the seller has raised the rate to \u20b945 because a crowd has just arrived. You still buy them, yet you end up paying more than the price you first saw. A very similar thing happens in the share market every single day, and it is called slippage in trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is slippage, and why should every trader care about it? Most beginners notice slippage in stock market trading only when they check their trade and find that the price is slightly different from the one on their screen. At first, a difference of one or two rupees looks too small to worry about, but when you trade often or buy in large quantities, these small differences add up and quietly reduce your profit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we will go through slippage step by step, starting from the meaning and moving on to calculation, causes, real examples from NSE and BSE, and simple ways to keep it under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
