Orders entered electronically are usually posted quickly. However, several factors may affect the execution of your orders:
Delays may occur due to market volatility and high trading volumes. This can result in trade executions at prices significantly different from the quoted price of the stock at the time the order was entered.
Speed of trade executions may also depend on the Internet Service Provider (ISP). Online investors must be aware that ABCSI’s Internet service is provided by a third-party ISP. Given this, GCash may not have control over the Internet speed for the transmission of orders. However, it is assured that reasonable care and diligence has been taken by GCash in choosing its ISP.
Timing in execution of orders may also be affected by market volume, order queues at the PSE, possible delays in order transmissions by your broker, and other systems
