Post From: SC and IB Gateway API

Hi Support,

I am using Denali Data Feed with Interactive Brokers Gateway API. I am trying to get a better understanding of what the best practices are for the most efficient execution.

1) When using multiple instances of SC, does increasing the number of instances have an effect on how fast the API receives/processes orders? If too many instances are open, can there be a situation where an order entry has to wait while some other process completes?

2) When entering orders - for example to buy 4 contracts of ES - would entering this as 4 individual orders of 1 contract be better, worse or the same as entering 1 order for 4 contracts? My preference is to enter the order as 4 separate 1 contract orders.

Thanks as always.
