Trading NYSE from Russia ? Are there going to be (2-3seconds) delays ?

Whether it will be enough depends on several parameters, like the software you're using and the number of stocks and timeframes you're watching, in my experience your connection can get overloaded pretty fast in Russia, you also have to consider backup, because reliablity is likely to be bad. I found that dialup in the West generally is a lot faster than supposedly "high speed internet" in Russia. Satellite internet has an inherent lag to it of about 1 to 2 seconds and when it's raining or snowing it can go down completely.

Yes I agree with you completely, it is something to think out and investigate before I move.

Have you ever been to Russia and/or do you speak Russian? If not, I would advise you to have arrangements made as much as possible by a local, that you can trust. You'll find out pretty soon why that is advisable.

Thank you for advice.
Yes I do speak Russian, and lived there before.
