I'm currently trading minilots of just 1 ($1/pip). On rare occasions I have traded as much as a full lot (100 minilots at giving me $100/pip).
When I trade in minilots of 1-10 or so I don't seem to have a problem with execution. When I trade in lots of anywhere from 50-100 or so I have a pretty long lag time... feels like hours though it may only be about 30-45 seconds until it goes through. This lag time seems to occur no matter if it's a fast market or not so I'm eliminating that possibility.
My question is this...
Is the lag time because the broker is trading 100 minilots or is the broker just trading 1 normal lot but that's just typical execution? If it's because the broker is trading 100 minilots should I increase to maybe a standard lot size for for a faster execution?
Thanks in advance for the guidance!
