ATC2012 rules - question

[Pawel Wojnarowski]

Hello MetaQuotes,

Do you consider changing or totally abandoning a following rule of ATC 2012:

The maximum amount of pending orders for all symbols at any point in time is 12.  (by the way I  have just checked that on MetaQuotes Demo server the same limit is...100!)

The reasoning behind such request is quite simple - when given 12 trading pairs, it is extremely limiting the chances of multi-currency EAs that implement:

- strategies based mostly on pending orders, e.g. break-out strategies, pivot/Fibo level strategies, oscillator-based short-term trading in a horizontal price channel

- sophisticated strategies using "virtual" position management with orders, like presented e.g. in these articles -> https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/217 or https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/88 

- multiple levels of stop loss / take profit using pending orders

just to mention a few of them.

Thank you for suggestion, it looks reasonable and we decided to take it. We will change Rules of ATC 2012 - increase total number of pending orders.

Thanls Rosh  & MetaQuotes! That's a great news to hear. So, I am waiting for the info on the rules update.

How about the order lots?

5 lots limit is just make our coding harder and longer.
