Open max order in MT5 using python script

New comment
 

Hi guys, 


How can I open 10 or 20 orders in one second in MT5 using the python API? and how can i control this folow, I mean (10 orders per second or 20 ....etc)


Many thanks in advance

 
Python
import MetaTrader5 as mt5
import time

# Initialize the MetaTrader 5 connection
if not mt5.initialize():
    print("initialize() failed, error code =", mt5.last_error())
    quit()

# Set the desired number of orders
num_orders = 10

# Set the symbol and order parameters
symbol = "EURUSD"
lot = 0.1
order_type = mt5.ORDER_TYPE_BUY
price = mt5.symbol_info_tick(symbol).ask

# Start the timer
start_time = time.time()

# Open the orders
for i in range(num_orders):
    request = {
        "action": mt5.TRADE_ACTION_DEAL,
        "symbol": symbol,
        "volume": lot,
        "type": order_type,
        "price": price,
        "magic": 123456,
        "comment": "Python script order",
        "type_time": mt5.ORDER_TIME_GTC,
        "type_filling": mt5.ORDER_FILLING_IOC,
    }

    result = mt5.trade_send_order(request)
    if result.retcode != mt5.TRADE_RETCODE_DONE:
        print(f"Order {i + 1} failed to open, error code: {result.retcode}")
    else:
        print(f"Order {i + 1} opened successfully, order ID: {result.order}")

    # Check if one second has elapsed
    elapsed_time = time.time() - start_time
    if elapsed_time >= 1.0:
        break

# Shut down the MetaTrader 5 connection
mt5.shutdown()

To control the order flow (e.g., 20 orders per second instead of 10), you can adjust the num_orders variable and the condition in the loop that checks the elapsed time. For example, to open 20 orders per second, you can modify the loop condition as follows:
elapsed_time = time.time() - start_time
if elapsed_time >= 1.0 / 20:  # Open a new order every 1/20 of a second
    break

Beforehand need to check limitations imposed by your broker.
