Latency

Hey guys, how do you check your latency to make sure that you are not too far behind the market in autotrading?

ping your execution server from your trading machine.

ping is available from a command prompt in Windows. See the command line options for an extended ping.

timestamp the order before it goes out, and again when you get your acks. subtract. do it a bunch of times.
