Time measured in milliseconds (1/1000th of a second) to brokers gateway.

: These brokers are participating in our bundling program and offer a free or discounted CNS VPS to their subscribers.  For more information, please reivew this KB article detailing the program.

: These brokers are participating in our bundling program actively sponsor CNS subscribers and are very responsive to subscriber requests.  As such, they have been designated a "CNS Premiere Sponsoring Broker".

 These brokers are directly connected to the CNS network.  Latency <1ms.    [top]

 These brokers are connected to the CNS network through a peering fabric or a peering relationship with their ISP.  This configuration completely bypasses Internet transit.    [top]

Regulatory information has been obtained from the broker's web site or by contacting the broker directly.  This information is believed to be accurate as of the date posted.  CNS assumes no liability for errors or omissions.  If any information is not correct, please contact CNS Support.

This latency chart does not imply an endorsement or recommendation of any broker.  It is only a list of latency results to popular brokers or brokers CNS support has been requested to test by subscribers.  Use your own due diligence before doing business with any broker.  If you have ANY questions then please contact CNS Suport.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q:  How do I use the latency chart?

A:  You should setup your virtual desktop in the data center with the least latency to your broker.   If you are not using the virtual desktop to trade or if your trading strategy is more long term then setup your virtual desktop in the datacenter closer to you for best remote desktop performance.

Q:  I am trading both west and east coast brokers.  Where should I host my desktop?

A:  Consider setting up two desktops, one for west coast and the other for east coast brokers.  You can easily log into both at the same time, and even network them together so you can securely copy files between them.  This will give you the best possible latency to all brokers.  Please refer to our latency chart to determine the best location to host your trading terminal.  Let us know if your broker is not on the list and we will do our best to update it as soon as possible.  If you do not want to setup two desktops then pick the broker most important to you and use the data center on the chart with the lowest latency.

Q:  I already have a virtual desktop.  Can I migrate my desktop to the new data center?

A:  You can migrate your VPS between CNS datacenters at any time. Please open a support ticket.

Q:  What is "ON NET"?

A:  Brokers designated as "ON NET" are directly connected to the CNS network - they are "on the network".  Latency <1ms and connectivity via redundant broker gateways.

Q:  I am running a scalping EA.  What's the difference in performance?

A:  Night & day, especially for popular EA's where everyone is trying to make the same order at the same time.  Figure the average latency to all NYC  brokers is less than 5ms (5/1000th of a second).  It is difficult for another trader to place an order in front of you when you receive the same price quote so much sooner than they do.

Q:  How can I figure out the latency I am getting to my broker right now?

A:  This can be done from inside the VPS (or from your PC if you want to measure latency from your PC).

Click start->run

Type "cmd" in the box and click ok.  This will open a command prompt.

Lookup the broker's IP address in the latency chart.

Ping statistics for 66.114.118.12:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 19ms, Maximum = 19ms, Average = 19ms   <-----This is the line to look at
 

The last line shows the minimum, maximum and average ICMP time to the broker, measured in milliseconds (1/1000th of a second).   Generally, anything under 150ms is considered good so long as the quality of the circuit is also good (no packet loss).  Any number less 20ms is excellent.  Consider this:  5ms latency compared to 100ms means the 5ms trader will receive the same price quote and have an order back ~20X sooner.
