Hyperactivity & Order Limits

Too many orders, modifies, or pending spam per day reads as toxic flow — even when each trade is small.

Simulated matching engines throttle message traffic. Benchmarks in the industry sit near 2,000 server requests per day including order places, modifies, and cancels. A grid EA that replaces 50 pendings every minute crosses that line before lunch. Desks also flag average hold times under a handful of seconds and cancel-to-fill ratios above normal scalping. Keep human-scale frequency, batch your modifies, and kill runaway EAs with a daily message cap. If you cannot explain each order, the desk will not pay for it.
