Scalping - and orders denied

[Foster]

Hello all, I am new to Forex and new here as well. By all accounts I consider myself a scalper.
Something I noticed and a bit disturbing is that during fast movement [gold/USD] example - is that the server is too "busy" to execute my order [long or short]. And therefore my entry/exit strategy can go up in flames.
From my long time computer experience a packet sent should "fit" inside of milliseconds of excecution.
I have experienced this with different practice accounts.
Is this a normal experience? or is it confined to practice accounts.?

cheers

It's a normal experience. The problem is not because the connection or the servers are too slow, but because the "competition for a market liquidity" at the clearing centers is very high during the periods of fast movement.

When you trade with a bucketshop that's normal , it can rarely happen when your account is with a ECN broker.

Jona is correct, the better the broker the more liquidity they will have. Get with an ECN broker and they are 85% less likely to put you in these sort of situations.

Don't worry Foster- This generally happens when the market is busy: such as important data is published and a trading instruments catches many traders' attention.
However, if it happens to you even when the market is calm, there is legitimate reason to suspect something is wrong with your broker's quotes and systems.
Hope it doesn't happen again! Good Trading to you

I think it's because you're using a broker, this is not good for maximizing your profits, you should use the Brokers that traders experience appreciate as:

When there is high volatility or low liquidity, you may experience the following:

1. Widen spread

2. Slippage

3. Requotes

This is normal. Also, in case you use scalping EA you may intentionally receive lower speed of execution from your broker. Because these EAs are sending too much messages to the servers of the broker, as far as I know…

Take care!

i think it may caused by your broker, some brokers dislike scalping, got a new broker

You might like to try looking for scripts to action the trade, Google "Sell with SL and TP without confirmation Box.mq4" [as the search string] and you will find the "set" of scripts for semi-automated trading. I have found they work more than sometimes when my broker is plaguing me with problems closing trades
