How Broker Latency Is Measured

Latency values shown on this page represent network round-trip time (RTT) measured from TradoxVPS Chicago VPS servers using ICMP ping or API network connectivity tests.

Important Notes:

  • Latency ≠ execution speed
  • Latency ≠ fill quality
  • Results depend on routing, congestion, and broker infrastructure
  • Trading platforms do not have independent latency

Why We Test Brokers — Not Trading Platforms

Trading platforms such as NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, MultiCharts, Quantower, and TradingView do not operate independent execution networks. All order routing and market data latency depends on the connected broker or market data feed.

What is good latency for CME trading?
Sub-5ms is excellent, sub-10ms is very good for retail futures trading. Our Chicago VPS typically achieves < 1ms to CME gateways.
No. Latency only affects network speed (how fast your order reaches the broker), not execution priority or fill price. Market liquidity and your broker’s own infrastructure also play major roles.
Routing, VPS location, ISP peering, and broker infrastructure all matter. Even two servers in the same city can have different latency if they use different network carriers.
NinjaTrader is a trading platform software, not a trading network itself. It connects to brokers like NinjaTrader Brokerage, Phillips Capital, or Dorman Trading. You should check the latency of your specific broker connection (e.g., Chicago CME Gateway).
