Although AETOS claims there are no re-quotes, the company warns in its Legal Documents section on the website that the prices shown in the platforms could not be the same as those the deal is executed. That means there is slippage. Furthermore, stop loss orders are not guaranteed and if any gap occurs, they could be executed at a worse than expected price and the result will be significant losses.
The company acts a market maker, which could lead to potential conflicts of interests with customers.
