If you use Ninja Trader or any of the screens that run on Rithmic's infrastrcuture and use Zen-Fire or Vision Financial Markets you may find using equipment at Steadfast's Chicago data center greatly reduces your latency. We have some users who have such a setup and they report good results. Steadfast is located in the same building as these systems and though the connection to Zen-Fire or Vision is through the internet, i doubt if the data leaves the building. You could run your screen on the machine at Steadfast and if it is running an automated strategy you get the benefit of very low latency regardless of your actual physical location.
