Release Date

I love the upgrade and there is a feature in Automate I would really like to use.

Spotware said [ON March 7]:

cTrader Desktop 3.5 will be released to brokers in the nearest future. Meanwhile, you can try the new features on Beta version.

Could you please approximate the term "nearest future". Are there complications?
Is it within days, weeks, months? Is Spotware responsible for the version change or the brokers?
So is there another delay (weeks?) with the broker implementing it?

Why are the Spotware Server located at Equinix LD5 when most liquidity providers reside in the Equinix NY4 ?
Looking at e.g. Pepperstone or ICMarkets - all of their Mt4/Mt5 infrastructure and LPs are in NY.

From my understanding (and please correct me if I am wrong!):
- Unfortunately for e.g. ICMarkets customers, it doesn't matter how slick and fast the cTrader Platform is -> when it comes to the trade in most cases it has to go from London to NY (100+ ms)
- There is almost always going to be a delay in order execution as you have to cross the ocean.
- FXPro and some other brokers may have most of their LPs in London. Who knows? Information on it is scarce and not publicly available.
- So trade executions all depend on the LPs of the individual broker and where they inject the liquidity in which instrument
- Unfortunately it seems the only way to find out about trade execution is to trade a live account with different setups (mt4, cTrader) (vps in NY4 / LD5)

Nevertheless, in Equinix NY4 most liquidity is happening - so why does Spotware have their Server in London?
