Order Delay Feature is Now Available

Do you need to delay copying orders from your Master account? We've got you covered. On your account settings (the icon beside your Slave account name), we’ve added an advanced setting where you can choose to activate order copying delay.

Works on Meta Trader 4, Meta Trader 5, and all Other Platforms We Support

The delay order feature gives you two options:

1.) Fixed Delay: You can set a specific delay time in milliseconds (up to 10 seconds or 10,000ms).

2.) Random Delay: Alternatively, you can opt for a random delay, giving your trades a variable execution time.

As a reminder, the total delay may vary depending on your broker's server performance. Our internal latency is 1-3 milliseconds then the rest will depend on how fast your Slave broker executes the orders once we send it. It’s highly suggested to consider the overall latency when configuring your strategy. Back testing is a must.

In What Circumstance Do Professional Traders Implement the Delayed Order Strategy?

Though the goal of using a Trade Copier is to mimic the Master Account trades as fast as possible, traders may choose to delay their trades when using a copy trading setup for better execution. For high-frequency trading or when managing a large number of accounts, delays can improve overall execution quality, ensuring that trades are executed more effectively across multiple accounts. This can be true if the trader is utilizing the same broker. While most broker servers are designed to accommodate a high volume of orders, they can still experience lags causing some orders to fail due to overloading. The order delay function might improve execution in this case. 

Quick Tip for Traders Utilizing This Feature

You get real-time execution results every time you trigger an order in your Master account. Check it by refreshing your “Last Copied Orders”. You’ll see the status of the order whether executed or if it failed for some reason

If you want to check the prices once the orders are executed, you can scroll to the Slave account section and click the Open Positions tab. To check the PnL once the order is closed, simply switch from the Open Positions to the Close Positions tab.

The Order Delay Feature allows you to set a delay before your trades execute, which can be either fixed (you specify the exact milliseconds) or random. Before using it, make sure to review your trading strategy to see how adding a delay could affect your trades, helping you optimize your results.
