Question about order types and execution speed
Question about order types and execution speed

Hi,
I have a question regarding cTrader copy and the relationship between Provider and Copier accounts.
If all else is equal (leverage and balance) between the Provider and Copier, are order equal as well?
What I mean by this is:
a) if the Provider places a limit order at a set price, does the Copier also place a limit order, or does the Copier create a market order as soon as the limit is filled for the Provider
b) how does execution speed look between Provider and Copier? Is it asynchronous in the case of multiple Copiers?
Thanks

1) All copying orders are executed as market orders.
2) Some milliseconds usually.

So if I trade using pending limit orders orders, would they have positive execution of slave account as on my master account?
Now on IC Markets and Pepperstone I see ideal execution of all my limit orders(exact filling or positive slippage) in Ctraders logs

Hi ruvaldi,
No, followers get market execution, positive or negative slippage is possible.

Hi ruvaldi,
No because this will affect the copying process and might leave followers exposed. The orders of followers need to be executed no matter what.
