A trading bot can execute hundreds and thousands of trading transactions on a daily basis. Certainly way more orders than any manual trader is able to place. Some broker servers are simply not technically able to successfully manage such a huge load.
Additionally, some brokers can be willing to get rid of clients (traders) that execute more requests than those (internally) set as maximum for their business.
@Spotware: Can brokers track/sort traders by the number of requests sent to the server(s)? Would be interesting to know if traders can rest assured that they will remain anonymous and not get (possibly) harmed based on this.
I believe this is a very legitimate question and of interest to all the algo traders in the community.
Thank you for insights!
Totally agree, that’s a solid question. It would be great to get some clarity from Spotware on how much brokers can actually see and whether there's a safe threshold for algo activity. Anyone here have real experience with this?
