Hi guys

Please assist, earlier on with the GBP news event I had buystops and sellstops in place, it triggered my sellstops however it did not show my triggered trades instead it showed my buysstop orders. I first had to scroll up on the terminal to see my open trades which was way too much time wasted in order to put trailing stops on. Can anyone please tell me why the open trades take long to show on terminal and why does it not show my open trades immediately?

use a EA you dont have the problem to set a trialing stop manuel for spike news you will be to slow anyway even if they show up the moment it trigger.

why it go so slow because most brokers whas disconnect and there whas a gap so there is no reaction i set my stoploss @ 15 pips but got stopt out on 30 pips cause there whas no connection till then that the impact of news, trading on the highest risk...

a second to slow ! good direction but missed the beginning of the gap

USD Retail Sales m/m -0.2% 0.1% 0.6%
- 1st entry by a straddle software, pips away: 5.0
- 2nd entry by a slow auto-clicker: 15/09/2017 21:30:00.876 USD Retail Sales (MoM) (Aug) ACT -0.2%
- Manual entry: my signal for -3 to -5 sec entry was long EU but didn't pull the trigger to enter due to absence from PC

... Let's discover the way to enter -5 sec of news time, the way vvFish does and recommends.

Great weekend to everyone.

Great to see this thread still alive. Anyway, I always wanted to ask people who trade news on Metatrader 4. What is your average execution time? I heard somewhere that Metatrader has some kind of lock or something which doesn't allow execution time faster than 100 or 200 ms. And the general consensus states that Metatrader is beyond crappy when it comes to news trading cause it's just too slow.

My average execution time in normal market conditions is around 400ms. That's just fine for most traders but not when we're talking about important news trading.

So it would help me a lot if you could share your execution times when you trade those news. Preferably important news that cause big volatility and mayhem in the market.

If you get way faster execution times than me, means I have to make some changes regarding my internet speed, broker and maybe even my rig.

Good . Can you make it open trade at specified time instead of using hotstick?
