What Is the Difference between Expected Price, Executed Price, and Market Price in a Trade?

The expected price is the price displayed to the user when they submit the trade. The market price is the current prevailing price on the exchange.

The executed price is the actual final price at which the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain. Slippage is the deviation of the executed price from the expected price, which can be caused by market volatility, low liquidity, or front-running.
