Placing and delete orders is taking a huge time.

 

Does anyone has already experienced some issue on order fills and has discovered how to fix his issue?

My ping is 22ms, usually the orders ares placed in 33-40ms. But randomly it takes 160,300,500 ms, to place or delete orders.

I have an indicator in the chart and i can't share it, not even would be useful, because is a huge code. So only reply if you have experienced the same issue at some point and has some idea of why or how indicators could affect order filling.

thks in advance.

This is all about your broker's liquidity providers, nothing to do with connection speeds.

You are trading a not so common instrument, so liquidity must be poor, especially in slower hours or days.

 
MNQ is the micro NASDAQ futures contract - not an illiquid instrument by any stretch of the imagination.  It's astonishing that with 30 years of trading experience a moderator of this forum would not realize this.

You don't like the answer, so you attack the messenger. Good luck getting help in the future.

What is this personal attack ?

You should learn to communicate peacefully. And by the way you are of no help for the OP.

We are not all trading US micro futures you know, but thank you for this lesson in finance, I am grateful.

An indicator doesn't affect orders filling at all. An indicator is running locally while an order is filled at the server side.

Talk to your broker if you need details about the execution.

 
yeah, i thought could be due to broker, but i've tested in a different broker and still happens. It doesn't really make any sense, but with a clean chart it doesn't happens. i've even blocked the indicator calculations (in OnCalculate) for testing but just by having it attached causes this effect.

Regarding MNQ, isn't the case. I've test in Brazilian Market, ticker WING22, and is the same thing.
I would appreciate any reply from someone who has experienced the same.
 
Is it MT4 or MT5?

MT4 is single threaded, so an indicator could affect the execution. IMHO

It's MT5. And MT4 is not single threaded, an indicator can't affect an order execution (it can affect the GUI which is single threaded on MT4).
 
Oh, I see. I still haven't worked alot or at all with MT4.

how do you distinguish between MT4 and MT5 in this case? I cannot tell the difference.
