I trade from Europe the DAX and USA futures. The time it takes for data from Germany to travel to the USA and then back to me puts in a delay of at least 200ms compared to if I would take it directly from Europe. I know IB has a server in ZUG/Swiss but since they are dropping so many packets and filtering their data it's not a real solution to receive only once in the 250ms a data update from IB. Is there a better solution for EU traders like me ? Thanks.
if you do decent volume, give advantage futures a call. they have servers in europe so your dax would be lightning fast.
