Movements in the Market-Rates
The popular site www.bondsonline.com , states that:
“The recent movement usually happen when the market order submitted by a trader , then it is transacted immediately at the OANDA FXTrade servers without further communication with trader. The exchange rate used for the trade will correspond to servers and not necessarily the rate dispalyed in the Buy/Sell Market Order window at the time the order was submitted. This is because the rate have changed between the time the order was submitted and the time the order is executed. Typically, the difference between the rate obtained or an order and the rate displayed in the Buy/sell Market Order window
when the order is submitted will be small (and often to the advantage of the trader). However, in times of market volatility, the difference can be larger— in this case, the lower “bound” and the “upper bound” fields of the order can be used to limit the traders risk, as described .
