Here are a few tips to help you minimize requotes:

  • Check your internet connection: Ensure your connection is stable and fast. If you experience issues, contact your internet service provider for assistance.

  • Use a VPS (Virtual Private Server): This can optimize the performance of Expert Advisors (EAs) and improve trade execution speeds.

  • Understand account differences: The Market Execution for MT4 differs from MT5. While MT4 may still encounter requotes during high volatility, MT5 is generally less prone to them. Avoiding requotes entirely is not guaranteed.

  • Verify EA settings: Check that your Expert Advisor (EA) is properly configured to prevent delays in trade execution.

  • Avoid trading during high volatility: Requotes are more likely during market closing hours or major news releases when price movements are unpredictable.

  • Hide unused symbols: In the Market Watch window, hide symbols you aren’t actively trading to reduce data load.

  • Use market execution: This type of order executes at the current market price, avoiding the need for specific price confirmations.
