One well-known broker has standard instant accounts on MT5, and I think there are some on MT4 as well, all on 5 digits of course. It doesn't depend on the 5th digit. And instant does not equal kitchen.
Some people are just better suited to instant, some strategies dictate the requirements of execution at the exact price, even with missing trades.
This is not a broker, but some kind of fancy dealing. How do they price them, does the director from home send whatever he thinks of?

I wouldn't throw around such labels as "dingy", otherwise it turns out 100% dingy and everyone here has to go to the factory).
Dealing yes, but so what, especially if it's civilised and not kitchen-sink. It's just that in such accounts there is no commission per transaction, as the earnings are on the spread.
On market accounts there is a comms, but the spread is minimal, that's the difference in their economics.

I called my advisor today and he said, "On an ECN account we have action orders and if there is no market price for the order, the order will open at the next available price, but on a NANO account only the instant market order will open and if there is no market price for the order, the order will not open. I asked him: "What should I do? How should I let my EA trade in such a situation? "The consultant replied: "We do not develop EAs ".

Well, thank goodness)
The EA DOES NOT have a "slippage" parameter

Try putting INT_MAX value in the slippage parameter. Ideally, it will open an order under any conditions in any market.Forum on trading, automated trading systems and trading strategies testing
