A limitation that MT4 has is an inability to execute trades in 1 ms or less and this creates latency issues for traders wishing to execute trades in the sub 1/10 second range. IBFX for example can process a trade within 8ms and all reputable brokers execute in the same TF, but it still takes around 300-500 ms to process the order. So therefore it must be a processing speed limitation within MT4 that is causing this issue. I am wondering if anyone is aware of bridge software that can take the feed from MT4 and process trades in this low TF range.

I have located a bridge software that is free, I am unsure if this software would be what I am referring to and if anyone has any comments or suggestions it would be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Erik

If you want to increase your server bridging speed, you have to develop your own plug-ins like PrimeXM in contrast to OneZero who uses the standard MT4 API by Metaquotes.
