Question:Order execution is slow on MT4/MT5. How can I improve the speed?

Answer:

There are various reasons that affect the quality of order executions.

To improve the connection and make the execution speed better, there are some solutions.

*In this case, slow connection means, taking time about 2 – 3 or more seconds to open/close positions.

1. Re-scan the server

If your account is compatible with other servers than the one you are using, you are able to connect with them and trade.

Sometimes changing the server may help the connection quality and even improve the execution speed.

To re-scan the server:

Click on the numbers at the right bottom corner of the MT4 screen, and select “Rescan servers”.

Your account will be disconnected just one moment, and reconnect the server again with the most strong signal(connection).

MT4 rescan the server

*Please note that by rescaning the server, you will be disconnected and trailing stops will be cancelled and your EAs will not work in that moment.

2. Close other programs

MT4 is a RAM consuming program that may affect the processing speed of your PC itself.

If the execution speed is slow, please try:

  1. Close extra charts and indicator/EAs
  2. Close other applications running in your PC
  3. Close other MT4s if you are running more than one

Please try to not burden your PC with too much work.

3. Use other devices

Sometimes the problem is on the internet connection or your device side.

You may try using different devices or different internet connection to see if you can trade on better environment.

It is meaningless that if FBS offers best execution environment or not, if you don’t have the required system prepared.

Internet connection and Slippage are a couple

If your connection is slow, slippage often happens as it fails to find the available price at the moment in the market.

If you feel like your computer is running slow, you may need to take that into consideration.

*Slippage happens especially when you open a larger positions like 10 – 20 lots, as many brokers do not have that much liquidity at the tightest spread they offer.

  1. It is pretty easy to open an account on the platform. Just head over to the website and follow the instructions presented by the broker. Anyone should be fine.

  2. The author just gave instructions on how to do that, a very good one!
    In FBS I have been trading for a long time and when I started metatrader 5 was not that popular and everyone was using 4. But now, little by little, I see how people are moving to metatrader 5. It will have quite a big community and team of supporters in near future.

  3. These are standard requirements for opening a trading account. Nothing too crazy as far as I know.
    At least my verification process was very fast compared to other forex brokers that I dealt with prior to FBS.
    You immediately feel the vibe of a respectable and reliable forex company as soon as you start trading here.
    The execution feels great, the pricing is tight for the most part. And the number of additional tools to enhance my trading is impressive.

  4. Opportunity to open multiple accounts but with the requirement of opening only one acc for each acc type is a weighted solution that allows traders to diversify their trading. I like it.

  5. Well, it turns out that this article has a detailed description of all of the broker’s services.

  6. Let me begin by expressing my admiration for FBS’s services and features! Since the day I became their client, I have been treated like a VIP. Their array of account options is tailored to meet all traders’ requirements, and their minimal deposit requirement is affordable, making it accessible to everyone.

    The platform is an exceptional piece of work! It’s very easy to use, quick and equipped with state-of-the-art instruments and signals. The timely execution enables me to trade at the right time for a competitive advantage in the market.

    Additionally, their generous bonus offerings offer a risk-free opportunity to further explore the markets. Take advantage of this fantastic offer: Simply access bonuses in the FBS personal area, confirm your email and connect your Facebook account.

  7. I am not a very impressionable trader, it is hard to surprise me. But the FBS surprised me with their market making in exotic forex pairs. Very neat to be able to find opportunities in those!

  8. Opening a trading account with this broker is a simple procedure.
    When I opened a trading account it took me a few minutes.
    So, anyone who wants to start trading can open a trading account on their own. Or you can use the recommendations in this article.
    Also, I want to draw your attention to the fact that you do not have to immediately start trading on a real account. It is possible to practice on a demo account in order to get used to the platform.

  9. I was conned out of £275,000 by a fake binary trading platform I was lured to invest in earlier this year. I became depressed losing such a huge amount of money and I was having suicidal thought so I couldn’t bear this any longer I confided in my friend who then introduced me to ( CRYPTOREVERSAL at Gmailc0m ) whom I hired and within 8 hours he was able to recover the first tranche of my money without any upfront fees or hidden charges. He’s the best recovery expert to hire if you’ve lost your crypto assets for the appropriate recovery solution. You can find him on WhatsApp at ( + 1 3 5 2 8 7 0 0 8 4 4 ). Amazing crypto retrieval expert
