Execution time depends on liquidity providers connected to the broker.
In order to get information on execution delays on the LP side, you need to contact your broker.

I am sorry but this is not the solution. People are moving towards cTrader (including me and my team) with the fact that broker will not be able to play with us like they did/does using mt4, since you are hosting cTrader servers yourself. I can give you following example:

I have 2 accounts with a broker. Both of them installed on same type of vps (4gb ram) in LD5 with latency to proxy = 1.2 and server=2 ms. Trades executed on both account. One was with slippage and delay (3 seconds). The other one was with no delay (250 ms). I still believe that broker can still play with you even in cTrader environment. If you have any doubts then I will send you both journals and trade history via email.

Please try to make changes in your architecture so that broker cannot play with trader on the LP side as I believe they can still install some crap stuff on LP side for different traders. Please take notice of it .. I have proofs and I can provide it

Two equivalent orders can be filled by different liquidity providers withing different times. Please contact your broker for all questions regarding execution.
