*Limited protection 1: The spread from broker varies, this protection is considered limited because Tick happens before check can be done. You should be aware if you are a trader.

*Limited protection 2: The slippage is included in the order command, but in ECN, broker will give the best available price. So if the next avail price is 60 points away from your pending position, this is not slippage.

*Average spread: CandleSeeker also calculate average spread over the last 60 sec, if average spread exceed max spread, pending orders will be delete and look for next opportunity to trade.

Please do not ask me for broker and VPS recommendation. You should do your own research about these.
