Can you please tell me was is a reasonable orders round trip time (the time it takes from sending an order until receiving a reply from the broker) when running live ninja using continuum?

Hello orenshkol,

Thank you for your post.

There is no average time, although the quicker the better for the user. This will depend on the latency between your PC, the broker's server and the exchange server. What your order's state and where it resides are also important to understand the speed of order placement. Please visit the following link for information on where your orders reside: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=5349
And for information on order states please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...efinitions.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,
I understand that there is know average time. What I'm wondering is there an amount of time that above it something is clearly wrong? I'm running ninja on a fairly strong dedicated server located at the same city as the exchange, what is a reasonable round trip time I can expect?

Hello orenshkol,

Thanks for your reply.

If you are having an issue please let us know what you are seeing.
I would say if you are seeing up to 2 seconds that would be normal.
