Order executions
25 Oct 2017, 13:22


Hi,

Can anybody shed some light on how ctrader is actually able to pass micro orders as small as .01 lot size to the big liquidity providers that so many brokers claim to be using?

Can anybody give a step by step overview of how a position is open and closed through a broker that operates with a ctrader platform?

Thank you.

Adriano

Dear Adriano,

Thanks for posting in our forum. Lot size is dependent on the broker and his liquidity provider. cTrader just passes the orders from the trader to the LP. So there is nothing special in this. If you can trade a microlot on cTrader it means the LP accepts the order.

Can anybody give a step by step overview of how a position is open and closed through a broker that operates with a ctrader platform?

Regarding this, it is not clear to me what is the kind of answer you would like to get. In general, the broker and his cTrader platform are just intermediaries between you and the liquidity provider. Your orders are passed from you to the LP through cTrader and the execution results are streamed back to you.

Let me know if this covers your question of if you meant something else

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
