Maximum Order Requests per second
Maximum Order Requests per second

Dear members
I hope you are doing well today.
I have a goal and is to use a tool called: CMAM, in few words, this API acts like a MAM software where I can set a master account and slaves account where risk is defined by multiplier etc... So I can connect slaves accounts to my master account and all actions performed from my master account will be copied as well in the slaves account.
However I was thinking to link 400 accounts. I know it may sounds strange but my broker let me have 20 accounts and my clients will do that as well.
So from my trading API there's no limit on account numbers, however how about your servers?
Once I send the request: "Open Trade" it will be 400 requests at the same time. After some time I have growing my account, I will need to open two trades at the same time but the number of requests will be 800, 2 requests per account * 400 accounts: 800 open trade requests and so on.
So I would like to know what is the maximum requests' number so I can truly know what is my limitation, otherwise use the cTrader COPY feature you offer. I am thinking which option may have limitations, via Copy (yours) or via API (you and me).
Of course, the purpose is not to overload the servers, so I am doing my job to know this.
Thank you so much
Best regards

Hi dani20102015,
The limit for Open API proxies is 50 requests per second per application. cTrader Copy does not have such limitations.

Hi Sir
Thank you so much for answering my questions.
So it clearly means that cTrader Copy doesn't have limitations. So I will know what to do.
Finally, just for curiousity, what would happen if I reach that limit? would I get kicked out?
Thank you

If you send more than 50 requests in one second, only the first 50 will be processed. The rest will be rejected. There is no other punishment :).
