Market mechanics
Fill
The execution of your order. The price you get, which is not always the price you saw.
Where this comes up

- Gaps, and what fills them — Empty space on a chart, and the three kinds of it.
- What costs really take — Brokerage, STT, slippage and impact, added up honestly.
- A journal that is worth keeping — What to record so that it changes behaviour.
