What is a Requote in Forex
What Exactly is a Requote?
A requote occurs when you place a market order at a specific price, but the broker cannot fill that order at the requested price. Instead, the broker sends a new price (the requote) and asks if you want to trade at that new price. This is common with market maker brokers. For Sudan traders, requotes can happen when trading USD/SDG or other major pairs during news events or when liquidity is low.
How Does a Requote Work?
When you click 'buy' or 'sell' at a certain price, your order goes to the broker. If the market moves before your order is filled, the broker may send a requote. For example, if you try to buy USD at 1.2000 and the market moves to 1.2005, the broker will ask if you accept 1.2005. You can accept or reject. This can delay your trade and affect your strategy.
Why Do Requotes Matter for Sudan Traders?
Sudan traders often face requotes due to limited liquidity in local currency pairs and during after-hours trading. Using USDT or Skrill deposits may also cause delays. Requotes can increase your trading costs because you may enter at a worse price. They can also cause missed opportunities if you reject the requote and the market moves further.
Practical Example in USD
Imagine you want to buy 1 lot of EUR/USD at 1.1000. You place a market order. The broker sends a requote: 'New price is 1.1002. Do you accept?' If you accept, you pay 2 pips more. For a 1 lot trade, that is $20 extra cost. For Sudan traders with limited capital, this adds up over time.
