General Information​

The Trade Request Flood trigger is designed to detect trading accounts that send an excessive number of requests (bad traffic) to the trade server. Upon detection, it generates a notification for the dealer.

Trigger Logic​

  1. Continuous Monitoring: The system monitors trading accounts in real-time whenever orders are sent to the trade server.
  2. Request Calculation: The trigger counts the number of orders over the specified time interval.
  3. Threshold Exceeded: If the trade request count exceeds the configured limit, the system:
    • Generates a notification for the dealer.
    • If automation is enabled, blocks trading on the account.

🚨 If an account is blocked, it remains read only for the duration set in the "Block Time Interval" parameter.
