Market Order Fill Rate

Execution

Market Order Fill Rate quantifies the proportion of a market order’s requested quantity that is successfully executed at the time of submission, reflecting immediate liquidity conditions. This metric is particularly relevant in cryptocurrency and derivatives markets where fragmentation and volatility can impact order fulfillment. A lower fill rate indicates substantial slippage or insufficient depth of book to absorb the order size without significant price impact, necessitating consideration of alternative order types or reduced order sizes. Consequently, traders utilize this rate to assess the efficiency of exchanges and the potential for adverse selection.
