{quote} US trader here as well. What account type are you using? I'm using the MT4.ECN one and my trades are executed almost instantly. My latency to their servers is about 90ms.
Mine is MT4 ECN. Sometimes it's instant, sometimes it's very slow. I emailed them, here's the response:


Dear Client,
Please note that we're an ECN brokerage house and therefore on your Live trading accounts that you have with us orders are sent directly to market and filled at the best available price. Our live server is Europe-based. Therefore, there is a lag (depending on your physical location) from the moment when you send your order request until you get confirmation that your position is opened.
Execution Price may differ significantly from the Requested Price, especially during low liquidity market conditions, e.g. during news events or at market opening or rollover. For more details, see the following publication on our website - https://www.tradersway.com/new_to_th...sics#execution
We can offer you to check our VPS Hosting Service in order to reduce execution time.

{quote} Can you post screenshot of your journal tab? Expand the tab so it shows the open/close request and when it was filled. Make sure the full timestamps are visible Or post the journal log text. Intentional order delays? It reminds me of some video I saw several months ago: You might want to seriously consider stop trading with the offending broker and withdraw what's left immediately. And you should be screen recording your trading sessions.
Wow, thanks for that info. What's the best way to record trading session / screen activity? Well, maybe not the best, how about the lowest cost?

Here's the tab.

Looks like it took about 40 seconds to open my pending (buy limit) order.

In the meantime I placed a buy, it took about 16 seconds to execute.

What's interesting is that they both executed at exactly the same time. What's that tell us?

The pending order took less than a second to close.

SnagIt 2018/19 is good for everyday screenshots and quick screen recording. Editor is limited for video (you can only cut out (trim) or grab stills from the mp4 video), but perfect to markup still images. That is the default app for the "Print Screen" key. For deep editing of video, they want you to buy Camtasia.

Bandicam and BSR screen recorder is better for long-term recording (you can auto-save video every xx minutes or every xx MB). BSR doesn't seem to be developed anymore, but it does the job.

Flashback Express: have not tried it yet, but it is 100% free without watermarks (video only). If they allow automatic saving of recordings at specific intervals, that would be nice for long-term recording option on a budget.
Once you have the video, you can always use VLC or PotPlayer to grab still images. Or import into Snagit Editor or other video editor and trim or markup. FBR saves all video to their proprietary format. So you must convert their video first into mp4/avi format before you can use it. IMO that is unnecessary complicating things for end users.

It tells you that it is time to switch brokers. A lot of people don't want to hear that their chosen casino is in fact rigging the tables a bit. But it is what it is.


And I do not recommend flashback express for recording. They save files to a proprietary video format .fbr . You must then manually convert it with their editor into mp4 or avi format. With the other recorders I mentioned, the video is directly in mp4 or avi format.

I am checking out a couple of other free recorders to see if they can continuously record.

After exploring several video recording options, I can say that BSR screen recorder and Bandicam are the best paid continuous record options.

Free continuous recording there is Debut...Not too many customization options for the codec, but it should get the job done.

Sort term video/ quick screenshots /all around is snagit 2019. It should just be the default screen shot app on the desktop.

To keep the video size small, use a small FPS 4-5 fps or so. Anything over 10fps is probably overkill IMO, unless you are doing some serious UHFT.

It will be the smartest idea to record the trading session. But that will be of no use if the Brookers is hiding in Grenada or other remote islands
