Ways to increase execution time

Hi. I'm looking for ways that could potentially increase my order execution time speed. Could you name what are the most important variables when it comes to order execution time? I'm currently looking at the true ECN broker, I mean real ECN which deposits starts from near 5 digit sum and not some shitty bucket shop in disguise. Broker servers are around 900 miles (1500 km) away from me. That should give me better execution time compared to broker servers that are thousands of miles away. The broker doesn't have crappy MT4 and has it's own platform. Which I think is good. I mean everything is better than MT4. I'm also planning to get 600 Mb/s optical fiber internet.

Now. Is there anything else I can do to potentially speed up order execution? Any more variables left that influence it and that are not beyond my control?

Thanks

using a vps will speed up execution time. I myself have issues with order speed as I was primary trading the news. a vps helped as its based in new York city and I'm in Australia.

You mean decrease ?

If you deposit anything above $25-50k with prime brokers,you will get FIX API.

With a decent software ,coder & fiber optic line you will get very fast execution times.

You need to know your ping too,the lower,the better.

yeah sorry I meant decrease..i am using a vps now with a ping of 1-2ms which seems to help a little when trading the news

If you have the money, go with LMAX



They offer many ways to trade beside the web platform & mt4

 

1. Connectivity: Cross connect at Equinix LD4/5 and TY3, PoP at Interxion, Extranet and Internet
2. Access: API (Java & .Net), FIX 4.4, Web GUI, Mobile, MT4/5 Bridges

If you can get a vps near their data center & trades through api/fix you may get execution speed below 10ms overall.

I am not a programmer so I don't know how all this works,just an assumption.

Awesome cheers mate, I am going to check it out

Lmax is real solid broker, no doubt. The problem is, they don't welcome news traders. I believe it's even stated in their terms. Maybe it has changed since last time I checked although i really doubt.

They welcome anyone with 50k or more
