A trade expected at 100 executes at 101.
The failure mode
A slippage tolerance limits acceptable execution conditions; it does not guarantee a fill.
Illustrative scenario, not a measured execution test.

Primary documentation
Evidence before authority
DN’s reference hub connects concepts, official sources and practical review questions. It is an editorial reference, not a security certification or legal advice. Entries are dated snapshots, not a continuously monitored feed. Coverage expands only after review.
Commercial relationships do not determine definitions, regulatory conclusions or default tool order. Follow provider eligibility rules and verify permissions before execution.
