The process of filling (executing) a buy or sell order in the market. When an automated system or trader places an order, order execution is the broker or exchange accepting that order and completing the transaction on the market. It may be handled manually or electronically, and the quality/speed of execution can affect the actual entry price received. In automation, ensuring fast and correct order execution is critical, as delays or slippage can impact strategy performance.
