Hi, We recently created a new strategy:-
The C2PlatformTransmit.exe which mirrored the trades to the Collective2 account generally functioned satisfactorily until recently. (It did need to be removed, reloaded and restarted on several occasions as the source account and Collective2 strategy were not in Synch)
The previous 2 days have shown major inconsistencies between ALL the trades sent and the trades received and reported by Collective2.
Obviously there is going to be some variation in spreads between brokers but unlikely to this extent. We are using a Live/Real account as the source account being copied from so the prices reflect what could reasonably be expected from standard broker executions.
It appears there are either some latency/connectivity issues as well as possible mis-pricings.
Another concern is that the C2PlatformTransmit .exe has not been updated since 2020 whilst the MT4 platform has had several major updates to the code library/functionality as well as the architecture so it could simply now just be incompatible. It is a concern that I see trades on Collective2 still open, sometimes for many minutes, whilst closed on the account being copied from. This would suggest something more serious than just latency issues.
I have halted all trading until this is resolved as I see that there are ‘real-life’ brokerage accounts receiving the trades. It also appears that their brokers fills are being used to determine the strategy’s equity curve which is a concern if their brokers fills are causing the issue with extremely pessimistic fills which don’t reflect the general market mid/average/consensus price.
Thank you for any assistance
