VPN to reduce latency for trading in Asia

[napolean]

I'm also in Singapore but don't have these issues. I'm with TDA. The worse is when I get a few seconds delay viewing charts when I toggle between stocks in my list. Then again, I'm not concerned with speed execution as I trade stocks over weeks.

I do care about latency when I play video games though! VPNs are useful only in that you have more options to route your IP to the end server. Sometimes I get a better ping with one or another, but probably nothing that would be obvious for trading. When gaming, anything over 220 is unplayable. Depending on time of day it's not unusual to get pings of 210 to 350.

I have TDA account as well. They definitely lag. Try to observe the opening. If you don't read the level 2 and tape, you won't know the huge difference.

I am located in Italy. Ping to the above IP adress and back 15ms thru cloudflare.
Fastest normal internet between London and east coast of the US seems to be about 45ms.

Sorry, found lower on the test Total ping 56ms.

Speed of light is around 300,000 km/sec. In fibreglass it is around 200,000km/sec. So 30ms for 6,000 km more or less. Which confirms that it will be rather 56ms and not 15ms.
