One-click execution is fast, but no order is immune to slippage — the gap between the price you expected and the price you actually got. Honesty requires being clear about what NoVo can do to minimize it and what stays outside any tool's control, because anyone promising slippage-free fills is lying.

What NoVo does to reduce slippage

NoVo's execution is built to minimize slippage where it can: adaptive order routing that works toward good fills rather than blindly crossing the spread, logic aimed at the mid where possible, and a strong bias toward liquid strikes where the book is deep and the spread is tight. Speed helps too — acting the instant you decide, rather than after seconds of manual fumbling, means less time for the price to move against you. These are real, meaningful reductions.

What no tool can control

But the market decides the rest. In a fast tape, price can move in the milliseconds your order is in flight; in a thin or widening market, the available price simply isn't where you'd like; a gap can blow past your level entirely. A stop especially fills at the next available price, which in a violent move can be well beyond your level. No routing, however good, can conjure liquidity that isn't there or freeze a moving market. That's physics, not a flaw.

Good routing shrinks slippage; it can't delete it. The market, not the tool, has the final say on your fill — and honest software admits that.

Why the honesty matters

Your expectations should be calibrated: NoVo makes slippage smaller and more consistent than manual trading, but it can't guarantee a fill price, and in fast or thin conditions slippage can still be real. This is why you size for the worst case and factor slippage into your risk math rather than assuming clean fills. NoVo does its part on execution quality; the market does the rest, and no tool that's honest will tell you otherwise.
