Maximum Order Requests per second/hour/day on FIX API
27 May 2023, 20:17


Is there any limit to the number of orders and changes to those same orders that can be sent in any given period to the server? Example: open trade, move SL, move TP, add size, reduce the size, send STOP pending order, send LIMIT pending order, move pending orders, etc.

 

If there is any limit to the number of requests that can be sent to the server, what happens to the account that reaches such a limit?

 

Thanks in advance.

RE:

Hi, Not that I am aware off. There may be a server limit to prevent some kind of abuse but I have not encountered such a limit. 

I have sent orders exceeding 80 orders to move sl with every tick and all messages get sent fine. I have sent hundreds of requests every second or less 

and have never seen any throttling or any kind of maximum requests message.

Thank you very much for your answer. I was thinking because I want to update the SL a lot of times per second with a cBot, so your answer clarifies this.
