Have you seen requotes during a release? How often?

A requote happens when the price you clicked is no longer available when the order reaches the broker, and the platform offers a new price to accept or reject. Requotes are more common during fast markets, such as a release, when the quoted price changes between the click and the fill. MetaTrader 4 vs MetaTrader 5 vs cTrader vs TradingView compares the platforms many members use to place orders, and how each one presents a requote is part of that comparison.

Members who trade releases often keep a record of how their broker handles requotes, because a requote can turn a planned entry into a worse one or into no trade at all. The question is how often you see them, at what times, and what you do when the platform offers a new price. Some members use a market order with a deviation setting, others use a pending order, and each has a different risk.

We would like to hear your experience:

  • Have you seen requotes during a release? How often, and at what time?
  • What do you do when the platform offers a new price?
  • Which order type do you use around releases, and why?
  • Has a requote ever changed a trade's result more than the market move did?
