1) Does the broker matter as far as execution speed or successful fills???
I have a couple custom indicators and some stock indicators running now and NT seems sluggish. My indicators are a couple of tro's re-released here for nt.
Im running 4 charts and the dyn sup dom on my laptop.
2)Is it possible that my system is struggling due to the heavy load after reviewing my systemproperties above?
Here is my concern, maybe you can help me... I went through the steps to make my comp as fast and effiicient as poss ie minimal startup programs etc so i just have to deal with what i have i suppose until i get a faster comp and a couple more monitors desperately needed, but my main concern is order processing. i have put in limit orders a few times and as price comes down to the limit order it has of course bounced off and reversed several times without fills, but is it due to my computer processing speed at all or the nt program for price to come down and match the limit order and sit there for (without exxageration) 8-10 seconds without a fill before backing away from my order on a reversal and retracing leaving me behind. It is during obvious heavy popular order periods usually at pivots etc. but is stalling at my limit order 8-10 full seconds without a fill possible sometimes regardless of computer speed or broker?? When it goes through my limit order and continues in the same direction im filled immediately, but on a reversal it sits for multiple looonnngggg seconds at my limit order with lots of action but no fill and then retraces leaving me in the dust ps i understand chases if touched etc. just wanted to get filled at the limit within much faster time.Am I just reduced here to chasing or stop limit orders?
