        Is the bot sensitive to broker execution speed or commission models (ECN vs standard)?

            So sorry for the late reply. My deepest apologies.

            Yes, this cTrader bots (cBots) are sensitive to broker execution speed, faster ECN execution minimizes slippage and latency for high-frequency strategies, as seen in brokers like IC Markets, that I use, with <12ms averages. It's also sensitive to commission models: ECN accounts offer raw spreads (0.0 pips) plus low commissions (e.g., $3/lot), while standard accounts embed costs in wider spreads (0.6–1.0 pips), raising effective fees for active bots.

            But this holds true for most common cBots here.

            I hope this helps! Have a profitable day!
