Portrait of Lena Park — Broker Integration at Glitch Executor

Editorial byline

Lena Park

Broker Integration · Glitch Executor

Writes on cTrader / TradeLocker / DXtrade / MetaApi integration, latency, and the parts of broker bridges that break at 2am.

Byline scope

Lena is the engineering byline for the broker-bridge layer — OAuth flows on cTrader, credential exchange on TradeLocker / DXtrade, and MetaApi-routed MT4 / MT5. Every connection path Glitch Executor supports goes through code Lena maintains.

The framing for Lena's posts: broker integration is where prop-trading systems quietly fail. The marketing pages of every prop firm and every bridge vendor say "supports cTrader" — what they don't say is the difference between read-only OAuth (Glitch Executor's default) and credential exchange (everyone else's default), and what that means for trust + compliance.

Topics Lena writes on: MetaApi latency profiles across regions, cTrader OAuth vs API key trade-offs, MT4 EA policy compliance across the six supported firms, and what happens when a broker bridge times out mid-trade.
