Order Spacing Rule

This policy applies to all EAs, bots, and trading systems connected to an Algorithmic Affair account.

Updated over 2 months ago

At OnlyFundsFX, we support automation and algorithmic trading through our specialized Algorithmic Affair account. To maintain the integrity of our trading systems and ensure platform stability for all users, we enforce an Order Spacing Rule that limits the frequency of trade executions.


🚦 Minimum Order Interval: 200 Milliseconds

To prevent overloading our execution infrastructure and to deter abuse from ultra-high-frequency strategies, we require a minimum interval of 200 milliseconds between order executions.

⚠️ This includes:

  • Market orders

  • Limit and stop orders

  • Partial fills and bulk execution strategies

Orders executed faster than 200 ms apart may violate this policy and result in penalties.


🧠 Why This Rule Exists?

Without spacing, bots can execute thousands of trades per second, which can:

  • Overwhelm the platform’s processing capacity

  • Disrupt live market data feeds

  • Causes inaccurate trade reporting

  • Degrade execution speed for other users

Our infrastructure is designed to support professional-grade algorithmic trading, not data feed abuse or ultra-low-latency arbitrage. This policy ensures fairness and protects the long-term stability of the trading environment.


📉 Consequences of Violating the Order Spacing Rule

Violating the 200 ms minimum interval rule may result in:

  • Payout denial

  • Account reset or breach

  • Termination of your Algorithmic Affair account access

  • Blacklisting of non-compliant EAs or strategies
