Is Slippage a ripoff Scheme?

couldn't any broker give the reason of 'slippage' every time there's an error in your trade? It's like a win situation for the broker everytime and the trader can't do anything but accept the broker's reasoning..

i was just thinking bout this...

I think slippage exists in every market and I am personally certain it is a real phenomenon that brokers have to account for to make a profit or they will lose money. That being said, I am certain there is an acceptable level of slippage and there is just flat out gouging the customer.

I have no idea how to assess this and really don't care much. If I need an exact price, I would use a limit order rather than a market order. This market is really pretty darn precise, trading stocks is much more expensive.

Just my 2 cents.
