Planning to experiment with scalping strategies but worried about execution delays. Heard Avatrade has faster MT4 while eToro’s social features slow order processing. Does this community’s historical data track slippage or latency metrics? Specifically looking for EUR/USD and gold stats during London sessions.
eToro lags over 300ms peak hours.
Download the community’s HFT dataset (filter by broker and asset).
Last quarter’s average execution speeds:
- Avatrade: 127ms
- eToro: 284ms
Slippage exceeding 1 pip occurred 12% of the time on eToro vs 4% on Avatrade during overlapping sessions.
Test both with micro lots before scaling.
Avatrade faster. Use their VPS option.
Ran 500 scalps on each broker last month.
Avatrade’s API connectivity gave consistent 80-120ms entries. eToro had unpredictable delays up to 2 seconds during CopyTrade surges.
Now I use Avatrade for scalping and eToro for swing trades. The community’s latency reports matched my experience exactly.
