what is your ping speed to IB server? How do i do this ping testing? Is that all data feed and order through the same server?
USA server = 208.245.107.3 european server CH = 212.243.80.1 i am sitting in italy, ping USA = 130 ping CH = around 40 as what as i know, the data stream comes always freom US servers, the orders are send to the server you had choosen (here european server)
yep. you don't have to call IB. the data server you connected to is in your log file how to ping- http://pcsupport.about.com/od/commandlinereference/p/ping-command.htm
