Hi rickcui,

The below border of the DoM is adjustable. You can adjust the DoM based on your needs

Sorry, I put the mouse to below border but couldn't shown the adjustable arrow, could you figure out which line can be adjusted? Thanks.

Hello, 

Thanks for posting an interesting question that gets asked frequently. 

Just because you have a great ping to the cTrader server (1/2ms) that doesn't mean execution time will be the same. This is just your ping to the server. Once your order reaches your brokers cTrader server there are a few milliseconds for processing then the order will be sent to your broker's liquidity provider. If the counter party who has the best price is in New York then an execution time of 100 to 200 ms is more than reasonable. 

It depends on many factors. Mostly the location of the bank / liquidity provider the order is routed to. 

Also it is worth noting that the execution speed on demo account is emulated, since orders don't really get executed - Demo account only pretends to execute them. 

All the best,

cTrader Team

Thank you Spotware, I got this, is that mean: if my VPS in London, and the brokers LP connected in London, the execution speed could reduce sub milliseconds?

If VPS in London, but the LP in NY, so the execution speed is higher than London?

Thank you again!

It should be "reduce to sub milliseconds", missing "to" word :-)

Thanks galafrin's reply, I already open a real account of ICMarkets and using Beeksfx LD4 VPS, the connect speed is 2/2(London-3), but the live account order execution speed still is 120-160 ms, even my laptop computer(location is Shanghai China, Proxy is Jakarta-1) execution speed is 164 ms, I am confused, so may I ask Spotware, why the execution speed is so slow? And how could I improve the speed? Thanks a lot!
