I’m running several EAs and wondering if switching to an ECN trading account would make a noticeable difference in performance. My algos rely on tight spreads and fast execution, and I’ve heard ECN can significantly reduce latency. But with commissions added, I’m not sure if it’s cost-effective for automated trading strategies.

If anyone uses EAs or high-frequency bots on an ECN trading account, how did it affect your results? Did slippage and spread behavior improve?
