What's your current ping time to your brokers server?

Does order placement follow seeing some things on your charts?

Ask your neighbour to also ping your brokers server.

Change markets.

You can trade eurusd, audusd, usdjpy and crosses during the usually non-trendy Asian session.

Or HSI, KOSPI, N225, and futures on SGX. Or even ASX futures.

I've been a long term defender of Sierra Chart.

But I thought increasing the costs of IB / AMP users on SP3 by 38% seemed a little surprising so I did ask if it was true.
