Hi

I'm considering a switch to Zorro, but the most suitable FX broker for our requirements only offers MT4, MT5 and CTrader.

So I'd either have to use the MT4/5 bridge, or write my own plugin to run against the CTrader Open API.

The MT bridge would be the lowest-effort solution. The CTrader API is Protobuf based and would be fast and reliable, but the developing and maintaining the plugin would be a pain.

So I have to decide if the MT bridge is "good enough". Unfortunately the Zorro manual is a bit offputting, saying: "MTR4 and MTR5 both have a heavy resource and bandwidth footprint. This can cause long response times, dependent on VPS performance and Internet connection."

We are fairly active traders and need low latency to minimise slippage. So my question is, with a properly resourced co-lo VPS, is the Metatrader bridge solution fast enough and stable enough for production use?

I'd very much appreciate feedback from anyone using this setup in production.
