Thanks for looking into it. The Server.TimeInUtc issue happens many times every day since July 18th. For example, just now for EURUSD (broker: Skilling):

Last tick time: 2022.07.21 05:56:00.674

Current tick time: 2022.09.08 22:58:48.048

We cannot do this because this should not be the case. It's like using an app to order pizza and you get chicken wings delivered instead. This should simply not happen, not added to the app's documentation :) It is something you really need to discuss with your broker.

I understand. Still, Pepperstone as one of the most used cTrader brokers seems to prefer chicken wings and a complaint by a single customer won't make them buy a pizza oven. Maybe Spotware could check this with them because if limit orders don't work correctly it also casts bad light on the whole "we are better than MT4 story".

Anyway, I will just use other brokers. Thanks again for clarifying this from the cTrader side.

RE:

Ok thank you very much for the fast response. Still it is a bit disappointing if you write a strategy based on the documentation just to learn that it is not true. Maybe adding a sentence to the documentation that it is broker dependent would make sense. Other brokers said that they use real limit orders, so it seems to work on some at least.

Hi matteoID,

"A Limit Order guarantees to fill the order with a price equal to or better than the expected one."

This is the definition of the limit order and this is how we pass it to the liquidity provider. If your limit order was not executed by your broker as a limit order, then you should talk to your broker.

Best Regards,

Thank you for your response. As I wrote before I did ask the broker (Pepperstone in this case) and they said that all cTrader orders are executed as market orders in their liquidity pool.
