May be useful prior making the decision of choosing your next trading technology.

  • So far data feed (connection latency) is best measured with Pingplotter a freeware used to be fond at Ping Plotter Download -- see attached PDF: IQ-vs-TT.pdf

Fiber optic is a big improvement over cable.

This is fast cable. Wonder what I could get with fiber?

What amazes me is the big difference in speed to different locations. For some reason Chicago is super super slow.

Intriguing that execution speed exists and some of us are playing with toys. Some references to microseconds gateways for trading:

NYSE, New York Stock Exchange > Technologies > Trading Solutions > Trading Connectivity

Features: Sub-100 microseconds gateway latency

One microsecond is a millionth of a second
Microsecond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am still recommending using pingplotter to see the whole routing picture of your feed connection (execution connection is most important). If your broker is routing you first to its servers and then to the market that will increase your latency which is bad.

Per my post you can see that data is leaving Las Vegas under 20ms and as soon as it hits the broker servers becomes a slow connection.

Can't run pingtest on this box as I don't have Java on it, but the ping to Zen Fire is 1ms

Auch!! That's some big difference, for having only TT and zenfire for 2 instruments, is it worth it to upgrade to fiber ?
