If I want to measure: 1) how long it takes quotes from my broker to reach my trading computer, and 2) how long it takes my orders to travel from my trading computer to my brokerâs order servers ... how do I do this? Is it a question of "pinging" the IP address/addresses of my broker's quote/order servers, or is there more to it than that? [Once I know how to do this, I am hoping to be able to investigate how much better I could do by co-locating nearer my broker ...] Thanks
Apologies if this causes any confusion, but this post followed another thread ( http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2913622#post2913622 ) which seemed to have died ... but then came alive again as soon as I posted here!
