OrderModify - should you check if the value has changed?

[J Webster]

When using OrderModify, should you check if the value has changed before sending the stop loss adjustment?

Otherwise, won't you get a lot of server traffic being sent every single tick?

Is there a way to check it on pip changes instead?

I have 5 decimals on my system so would rather a change every 4 decimal pips.

You'll get an error if you try to set the stoploss to the same value. So yes, you should check.

Check new calculated order parameters against existing ones and modify the order if at least one of the them diiffers.

What is the problem exactly?
