DislikedIt looks as though a slightly wrong computer time does not help. I have the attached and it keeps my clock time correct.
Ignored
The brokers claim it is the fault of the clients internet latency
The concencus among clients seem to be this is rubbish and it is the underpowered overworked broker servers that are the problem
either way it does not stop the fact we get them
I was probably not clear in what I was seeking a response to
We have to accept there is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent recieving the delayed ticks and hence the error messages I was asking is there a way for the ea's to recognise when we have them and react in some way to mitigate their affect on our trades ?
EDIT .... Just to add to this, the one thing I have tried to get any broker to comment on is .... when we have an Old Tick error message it has a time stamp, is the old tick information relevant only at that specific time/ticks or is it continued up until the point we close the platform to both remove the log entry and refresh the history tick information, put another way, if say the eurusd pair recieves an old tick message at 00:01::01 time stamp is it just unfortunate ( and highly unlikely ) that a trade has to be placed at that exact time to be affected and not considered, or is it every eurusd trade from that time forward that is affected and does not trade .... no one will answer this question, they avoid it like the plague, which leads me to believe the latter is true, which would definately inpact on our ea's performance
Sorry to ramble... its the quiet trading period can't you tell
