Big lot or multipile small when trading big.

Hi

Witch will give me the best price you think? And why?

Example

1) If i set a pending order at 1.100 on EURUSD at 20 lots

2) Or if i set 40 pending orders at 1.100 on EURUSD  at 0.5 lots?

And allso another question. Will 40 orders require more data power (such as CPU or memory) to have open then just to have 1 position open?

If you are using a limit orders then it won't matter, however, if you are using stop orders then you will likely get a better price on the 40 pending orders because it will likely fill with less slippage on your average price. Yes, 40 positions will require slightly more CPU.
