Preliminary Observation
Ahmad Faizal bin Razak|RU001

A preliminary assessment of reported execution slippage on this platform during the NFP (Non-Farm Payroll) release of November 2025 reveals slippage figures that appear to exceed industry norms for ECN-model brokers. IFCCI emphasises that slippage during high-impact news events is a normal market phenomenon; however, the magnitude and consistency of the reported deviations merit closer examination. No conclusion on intent or malpractice is drawn at this stage.
