Latency cTrader vs MT5. Auto trading. Open more positions simultaneous
13 Dec 2021, 13:48


Hello guys,
MT4 and MT5 platforms are very bad with very long latency. MT4 and MT5 on EA is no possible open more positions on more currency pairs simultaneous. MT4 and MT5 open one position first, then second, then third. It is no possible open more position in the same moment.

(A lot of brokers provide on MT5 20x longer order execution than displayer latency time. It is for MT5 typical).

Is it on cTrader platform different from MT5? Support cTrader on auto trading cBots, algos open more positions on more currency pairs simultaneous, please?

Thank you very much for support

Hi,

You can use API async methods to open a position, those will not block and can increase significantly the speed, but there is no guarantee that your orders will be opened at same exact time.

You can also try to use multiple threads, that will allow you to send multiple orders at the same time.

How to use multiple threads? any tutorial?
