Which UK brokers publish execution quality statistics?
Verdict
- Pepperstone is the UK broker in our data that publishes execution statistics: fills from 50 milliseconds, a 99.32% fill rate and no dealer intervention, based on trades from 1 January to 31 March 2026.
- It also publishes average spreads, not just minimums (EUR/USD 0.1 pips on Razor and 1.1 on Standard), which tells you more about everyday pricing than a 'from' figure.
- In our verified data, CMC Markets, IG, Capital.com and StoneX Trading publish no comparable speed or fill-rate figures; they quote 'from' spreads and sell guaranteed stops instead.
- No firm in our data publishes slippage statistics, so keep your own log of requested versus filled prices.
Execution statistics are rare in UK retail trading. Pepperstone is the only firm in our verified data that puts numbers on speed and fill rate, and that is the main reason it heads this page. Here is what those numbers mean, what they leave out, and how to measure execution yourself.
Pepperstone's published execution numbers
Pepperstone states execution 'from 50 milliseconds, with a 99.32% fill rate and no dealer intervention', with fills measured from 1 January to 31 March 2026. The claim appears on its group pages; UK accounts are held by Pepperstone Limited (FCA 684312). On pricing, it publishes averages as well as UK minimum spreads by account: EUR/USD averages 0.1 pips on Razor and 1.1 on Standard, and spot gold 0.12 and 0.19. These are Pepperstone's own figures; we haven't audited them.

What the numbers cover and what they leave out
| Measure | Published by Pepperstone? | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Execution speed | From 50 ms | A best case, not an average |
| Fill rate | 99.32%, Q1 2026 | Doesn't say which markets or order types missed |
| Dealer intervention | None, per Pepperstone | Says nothing about the price you get in a fast market |
| Average spreads | Yes, e.g. EUR/USD and gold | More useful than minimums for cost planning |
| Minimum spreads by account | Yes, UK costs page | Best moments only |
| Slippage statistics | Not in our data | Track your own fills |
| Guaranteed stops | Not offered | Stops can fill past your level on gaps |
What other UK firms publish instead
In the material we verified, the other large UK firms publish pricing floors and protective orders rather than execution statistics:
- IG: EUR/USD from 0.6 points, spread only; guaranteed stops free to place, with a premium if triggered.
- CMC Markets: EUR/USD from 0.5 pips on its standard account, or from 0.0 on FX Active plus commission; guaranteed stops with the fee refunded if not triggered.
- StoneX Trading: EUR/USD from 0.7 pips; guaranteed stops charged only if triggered.
- Capital.com: live spreads only, and guaranteed stop-loss orders.
Keep your own execution record
Published averages are a starting point; your own fills are the evidence. Over a month of normal trading, note these for each order:
- The price on screen when you clicked and the price you were filled at.
- The spread at entry, especially around scheduled economic releases.
- Any rejected or requoted orders and the market conditions at the time.
- Stops that filled beyond your level, and by how much.
Speed or certainty?
Fast fills help in normal conditions. They don't help when a market gaps over your stop, and Pepperstone's UK terms say it can't guarantee that limit or stop-loss orders execute at your level. Retail clients keep negative balance protection, so a gap can't leave you owing money, but it can close you at a worse price. If certainty matters more to you than speed, a firm with guaranteed stops, such as Capital.com, is the better fit.

Execution and pricing claims as published.
Is a 99.32% fill rate good?
It is hard to judge, because no other UK firm in our data publishes a comparable figure. Treat it as Pepperstone's own measure for one quarter.
Does Pepperstone publish slippage data?
Not in the material we verified. It publishes speed, fill rate and average spreads, so record your own slippage.
Are Pepperstone's execution figures independently audited?
Pepperstone doesn't say they are; they are its own published figures, based on fills from 1 January to 31 March 2026.
CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 73.6% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with Pepperstone Limited.
