My email below to ICMarkets about this nonsense, lets see theire reply..


Hi

I have a problem with this.

This account has one EA, running on one currency pair, USJPY, trading only Longs on a 1min chart....
It is NOT possible to scale it down more to minimize messages to MT4 server.

It is NORMAL for a EA to generate messages during normal processing of orders and adjusting stop and take profits.

The current messages are not generated due to any BUT only NORMAL REQUIRED BOT activity and YOUR server CAN NOT Handle THIS?

WHY are you using a server that is inadequate for NORMAL BOT Activity?

Please advise urgently because I were going to fund my live account to trade this BOT BUT with this NONSENSE I will rather move my account to a broker that have equipment to handle my NORMAL BOT trading activity.

I agree with you, IC Markets always say that high-frequency trading is allowed, allowing 200 positions at the same time but they care about placing and deleting orders or adjusting orders. 
Placing 200 positions at the same time does not overload the server but a total of 2000 messages in 1 day is overloading, it is crazy confusing.
 
kevinnguyen2022 #: but they care about placing and deleting orders or adjusting orders. 

We can't see your code. We can only guess.

  1. Stop deleting and adjusting orders. There is no need to create pending orders in code.

    1. The pending has the slight advantage, A) you are closer to the top of the queue (filled quicker), B) there's no round trip network delay (filled quicker.)

      Don't worry about it unless you're scalping M1 or trading news.

    2. Humans can't watch the screen 24/7, so they use pending orders; EAs can, so no need for pending orders, have it wait until the market reaches the trigger price and just open an order.

  2. Only move the SL at least a ticksize, maybe two.
