I am only assuming the most desirable: To move as close as possible to a broker's server. Yes, there is also the reliability concern.
Anyway, I doubt any problems with my IPS, especially given the peculiarity of the time in question: In the final moments of stop-hunting (price went down to touch the daily pivot support level 2), with likely high load on the server(s) (or tricks?). Possibly I got kicked out and you was lucky, that is your instance did not (yet) report an issue, does not mean there wasn't.
