Can you please explain how to avoid "Trade Context is Busy" error because my Bank told me that only way how to restore trading is to manually exit from the platform and reenter.

That would made MT4 obsolete as automated trading platform... Huh?

This problem actually may or may not indicate that your computer or internet connection is obsolete. I had the same problem on an older computer when I would connect through a slow wifi network. It was a pain trading news when the trading context would lock up! When I am on a different (newer) computer and a faster internet connection, I never have this issue.
