Fill quality
Where your executed price landed vs the price requested.
Last 8 weeks
Weekly median slippage — degrading · latency steady
Month by month · XAUUSD
Monthly medians on the broker’s most-traded symbols — medians, so one news spike doesn’t repaint a month. Points are symbol-specific: switch symbols with the chips, don’t compare across them.
Price accuracy
median slippage · 0 = filled at the requested price, below 0 = price improvement
Execution speed
median fill latency (broker-side, order received → filled)
Spread
median spread at fill time

FAQ
Is Startrader Financial Markets Limited's execution good?
Across 1,066 measured fills, Startrader Financial Markets Limited scores 74/100 against other measured brokers on the same symbols, ranking #3 of 6. Judge the components — price accuracy, speed and spread — rather than any single number.
How is this measured?
From real fills on connected accounts: slippage compares each order's requested vs executed price in symbol points; latency is the broker's own order-received to order-filled millisecond timestamps; spread is read from the broker's tick history at fill time. Never from reviews or broker marketing.
How often does this page update?
Continuously — connected accounts sync about hourly, and every new fill lands in these statistics. The monthly charts use medians, so one news spike doesn't repaint a month.
