Hi,
I want to program an EA which is buying or sending a limit order at a defined time.
Now my question:
Is it better the EA is in a while-Loop all the time or is it better it worked with ticks?
better with ticks
Or to say it in another way, does it change anything in a while-Loop, because I think the brokers doesn't react, when there is no tick???
Can such an EA work at a defined second??
if there is no new tick coming the EA doesn't work (but, u can fake a tick)
Thank you for your answer!
How can I fake a tick and why does it help me (if the tick isn't really true)??

Here's a Tick Generator. Somehow I taught there were more on this forum but could only find that one.
