Every trader has experienced it: a clear entry signal arrives, the entry point looks perfect, and the order executes flawlessly on the chart. But when the actual price comes back, it's slipped by a few pips—or the order never filled at all. There's no obvious reason, no market news, just the silent friction of an order execution environment never designed to operate at peak efficiency in those critical seconds when you need it most.

The problem is most traders evaluate brokers based on visible features like advertised spreads or platform appearance, without questioning whether those conditions actually hold during live trading. Yet research on retail execution quality has long shown that slippage and order rejection rates can significantly erode traders' theoretical advantages, particularly for high-frequency and news-driven strategies.

When accumulated over a year of trading, the difference between consistent fills and slipped prices is no longer a negligible figure. It becomes the single variable that determines whether a strategy actually scales or not. This is why experienced traders view execution quality as the primary factor when evaluating brokers.

Volatility is the real test.

Almost every broker performs adequately in calm markets with tight liquidity and orderly price movement. The true measure of an order execution system is how it behaves during central bank announcements, CPI releases, non-farm payroll data, and geopolitical shocks—periods when liquidity fragments and quote delays spike across the market.

During these times, the price impact hidden in a single order multiplies rapidly. Brokers that built their infrastructure on the assumption of calm markets typically push that burden onto traders through wider spreads, requotes, and order rejections.

Inki Cho, senior financial markets strategist at Exness, explains: "The 30-second window around major economic data releases is where execution infrastructure separates from execution marketing. That's when order books thin out and every broker's order routing logic is tested in public."

Designing systems for the worst case

Historically, industry responses to volatility have been reactive—widening spreads or tightening rejection criteria to protect brokers rather than clients. A more prudent approach starts from the opposite assumption: the most difficult conditions should form the basis of design, not be treated as exceptions.

This is where Exness comes in. In unstable market conditions, the critical question isn't just how fast a broker can display prices, but whether prices, liquidity, and order execution remain coordinated enough to keep markets genuinely tradable when volatility rises. In such an environment, what matters is how well the displayed price, available liquidity, and final order execution remain aligned under pressure.

This becomes especially important during high-impact news periods, when execution quality typically deteriorates across the industry. In those moments, even well-timed entries can be undermined if spreads widen significantly.

On June 28, 2569, Deputy Inspector Thanit Thaipakdi of Sattahip Police Station in Chon Buri received a complaint from 71-year-old Nang Anu after she was defrauded by scammers posing as a durian seller on social media. She transferred 700 baht but never received the goods.

Nang Anu explained that she spotted a post selling durians from a popular Facebook page in the Sattahip area and ordered 2 kilograms for 700 baht, providing her phone number in the comments. A person then contacted her via Line messaging app, sending durian photos and order details that matched her information exactly, making her believe she was dealing with the legitimate seller. The scammer claimed to have many customers and asked her to wait for delivery, later saying the durians were left at her home and sending a QR code for payment. Her grandson helped scan and transfer the 700 baht.

Upon returning home, Nang Anu found no durians. When she contacted the real seller, she discovered they had never received the money and the person who contacted her via Line was not them. She realized she had been defrauded by scammers exploiting information from the Facebook order.

Although not concerned about losing the money, Nang Anu wanted her experience to serve as a warning to the public, especially elderly people, as the scammers use sophisticated methods and detailed knowledge of orders to deceive easily. She advised people buying online to carefully verify the seller's identity and avoid transferring money to individuals contacting them through private channels without confirmation from the official shop.

Investigators have registered her complaint and are gathering evidence to identify and prosecute the perpetrators. Police also urged the public to check the credibility of online shops before transferring money and to make purchases through platforms with buyer protection systems to reduce the risk of fraud.

A subdistrict Buddhist committee has nullified an election to select a new abbot for Wat Soi Dao in Nakhon Ratchasima, citing concerns that religious affairs are sensitive matters that could upset Buddhist followers. The temple has been without a permanent abbot for more than five years. Local village headman Ukrit Khao Nom Klang submitted a request to the subdistrict Buddhist committee to hold a public election for the position, and on June 28, voting took place with two candidates presented: Phra Plod Thong Pet (Candidate 1) and Phra Samanuk Tham Varo (Candidate 2). Candidate 1 won with 260 votes compared to 36 votes for Candidate 2, with 17 spoiled ballots.

However, on June 29, Pornpana Sankarun, director of the Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Buddhist Office, announced that the election has no legal standing. Village headmen, temple committees, and local administration have no authority to hold elections or appoint acting abbots—such authority belongs exclusively to the monastic order under Buddhist ecclesiastical law and the Sangha Act. Officials acknowledged an initial misunderstanding by the subdistrict Buddhist committee but issued an order on June 27 to halt the proceedings before voting occurred, as the process violated monastic regulations.

According to Buddhist law, the appointment of an acting abbot is the responsibility of the subdistrict Buddhist committee, which must first consider the deputy abbot, then an assistant abbot, and finally any suitable monk if neither exists. The order emphasized that voting, show of hands, or referendums cannot be used to select an acting abbot. However, community members, local leaders, and officials may still submit information about the qualifications, conduct, and suitability of potential candidates for the monastic committee's consideration.

The group plans to expand such collaborations with leading universities worldwide to establish an international ecosystem for talent development and innovation.

Eleven selected doctoral candidates from Tsinghua University have arrived in Thailand to begin the program. Their first activity included a meeting with Senior Chairman Thanin Chearavanont, where he shared insights on integrating knowledge, technology, and human potential to build sustainable organizations. He emphasized that "developing people is developing the future" and highlighted how engaging young researchers with real business challenges accelerates practical innovation creation and long-term societal benefits.

Dr. Theeraphol then delivered an overview of CP Group's global vision, business direction, and its operations spanning agriculture, food, retail, telecommunications, digital technology, and sustainability, along with the company's six core values.
