What is your avg latency to your broker?

With IB you can test by going to
Start->Run type 'cmd'
then type
ping gw1.ibllc.com

I'm having 300-400ms with a 3G connection

 

lol you live in australia or something?

 

or something. Brazil, my main connection is not working with IB today

 

2-3 ms... lol

 

About 106 from the left coast.

 

Not bad at all !
Are you collocated with your broker ?

 

Yes.

But... I closed my IB account about a year ago - that was over the internet.

My colo latency is less than 125 microseconds. (average)

 

My main connection is working now
I'm getting about 160ms on avg

 

56ms, using FIOS. Now, ask me what my reaction time is. :eek:

 

74ms on DSL, 55ms on cable.
