Is internet speed important for the expert?

[Alsaedi Hjaj M]

I programmed a trading expert who works great on backtest

But when placed on a server that is not at a high speed, it is normal and does not perform some commands sometimes

Once the matter is executed and once not ??

If your expert's profitability is based on fast trade execution, then you need the best possible trading conditions and these include speed.

[William Roeder]

The microseconds the EA takes is irrelevant, compared to the 20-200 milliseconds the network takes, which is irrelevant compared to the minutes to do a trade because of the servers during news.

OrderSend sends the request, network delivers, placed in the server queue. Once it reaches the top of the queue, you get filled or not, and the result delivered back to the terminal. Normally it is the 20-200 milliseconds the network takes to deliver is the limiting factor, but it can take minutes to do a trade because of the servers during news.
