Delayed execution

The delayed execution feature in MetaCopier provides users with greater control over trade execution timing by introducing a random delay before opening and closing trades.

How It Works

When enabled, trades on the copier (slave account) will not be copied immediately after execution on the master account. Instead, a delay is introduced based on user-defined settings. Users can specify a minimum and maximum delay in seconds (with millisecond resolution), and the system will randomly select a delay within this range before executing the trade.

Key Benefits

• Greater Control: Users can introduce variability in trade execution timing.

• More Flexibility: Ensures that trade execution is spread out rather than instant.

• Customizable Per Symbol: Different delay settings can be configured for different trading pairs.

Technical Details

Delay Settings

Parameter	Description	Range (Seconds)
Min Delay Open	Minimum delay before opening a trade. (millisecond resolution)	0 - 3600
Max Delay Open	Maximum delay before opening a trade (millisecond resolution)	0 - 3600
Min Delay Close	Minimum delay before closing a trade (millisecond resolution)	0 - 3600
Max Delay Close	Maximum delay before closing a trade (millisecond resolution)	0 - 3600

If a fixed delay is needed, users can set the same value for both Min and Max. Otherwise, the system will randomly select a value between them.
