As scorpion pointed out a while ago, there is a built -in lock in the mt3api which prevents orders from being fired off in quick sucession. This block is countered by spwaning off another app to fired off another request. With MT4, it seems they'll be stopping this at the source by terminiating accounts which do this, another reason why they've discontinued the client api perhaps. I'm just hoping that what the fxdd rep told scorpion is accurate, that they'll be allowing the use of the api with mt4, then I'll be switching to them. I've put far too much time into my app as I'm sure scorpion has done already with his to let something stupid liek this stop me from making money
Though FXDD said so, there is no guarantee that they will keep mt3 more than 3 months. They have right to change the policy, then who know whether they take off mt3 tomorrow or not. However, as their clients, we also have right to withdraw our money if they do so. There are plenty of superior brokers and APIs such as Oanda and GainCapital.
