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 Pro Account 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.
