Hi,
I'm still trying to get my head around if this is even possible, I'd appreciate everyones feedback and any assistance with testing/proving this is possible/happening.
I have a dedicated server in New Jersey, NY so as to be close to my broker's server located in Equinix NY4 (at least that's what they told me...).
So I'm seeing latencies of 100ms+ in MT4, while if I ping the login server I get a consistent 7ms.
Could the broker be using some form of latency arbitrage or similar to work against me?
I've obfuscated the details in the screen capture, but should it be proven to be happening I will provide details of the broker so others can avoid.
I contacted the broker about it already, but didn't receive any response, so that's why I've become suspicious.
thanks all..
