Hi! Yes, the account type (ECN vs. Standard) significantly impacts the performance of the Elliott IQ Adaptive cBot.

Here is why using an ECN / Raw Spread account is highly recommended:

📉 Spread and Costs: On Standard accounts, the spread can range from 1.2 to 2.5 pips (and widen further during high volatility). This reduces profit margins, especially on short-term strategies like FadeWave5 or on lower timeframes like M5.
⚙️ Risk Management & Trailing: Precise features such as the 2-pip Break Even or tight trailing stops risk not triggering correctly or being absorbed by the spread on Standard accounts.
⚡ Execution: ECN offers direct market execution, reducing slippage and ensuring that the cBot's IQ scores translate into precise entry and exit prices.

In summary: to let the cBot work at its full potential without distorting the results, an ECN account is the ideal choice! 🚀
