Does the FXCM API support OrderLimit? If not is there any broker known that does? As far as I think to know something like this should not happen:
[1158: Fri 18-03-02 14:17:01] (1.37795)
2018-03-02 14:17:55.4555
Asset: GBPUSD_FXCM, Price: 1.37750, Spread: 0.00001, Commission: 0.00007, TickAge: 0.00002
OrderLimit: 1.37746
[GBPUSD_FXCM::S5254] Short 1@1.37694 at 14:17:55.
How to avoid it if OrderLimit is not supported? Setting any Entry away from the actual price only to open a pending trade and using a 'PriceLimit' in a TMF?
int TMF(var PriceLimit) {
if(!TradeIsOpen) {
if(TradeIsLong && TradePriceOpen > PriceLimit)
return 1;
if(TradeIsShort && TradePriceOpen < PriceLimit)
return 1;
}
}
Is this a viable way to simulate OrderLimit?

Sorry for quite many forum entries but I have another issue. Stop, Profit, Trail, Entry, ... [...]All parameters above must be set after selecting the asset and before calling enterLong / enterShort. They have no effect on different assets [...] Can it be that e.g. EURUSD_B1 and EURUSD_B2 are considered as one asset anyway? I have to reset Entry explicitly after changing asset from XXX_B1 to XXX_B2 or is this intended?

I've been testing the beta with 3 assets across 4 brokers and I've found that Zorro can't keep up with the data.
I have the Zorro window and the MT4 status windows right next to each other and watch the price on Zorro's status bar. I notice that somewhat frequently, Zorro holds still for at least a second at a time, while I can still see MT4 ticking. Zorro even keeps its little asterisk while I see the price change.
I've talked to support and they've just told me to increase TickTime (which is currently 1) but I don't think this is a good option, as broker arbitrage is extremely latency sensitive. I guess this means that broker arbitrage is out of retail traders reach.
