Add to NT instrument for latency measurement

[fx.practic]

I suugest to add to NT instrument for latency measurement separately for data servers and for order servers.

It would be grate to see latency in milliseconds right in the ChartTrader and in the SuperDOM.

This wouldn't be to hard to program in an indicator.

The servers are in the account connection setup.

I wouldn't be surprised if ping is denied by them, so there would be no return probably.

Hello, sledge!
Thanks for idea.
I saw also advise by VTtrader here:

[COLOR="Blue"]double [/COLOR]latency = DateTime.Now.Subtract( Time[0] ).TotalMilliseconds;

I'll check tommorrow when markets open.

But, according to my little investigation and as, Radical says,

Depending on your data provider, the DateTime from Time[0] might be the server timestamp.

.
Might be yes and might be no.
All my ticks have my local time.

Any way, to program latency manyaly I have to load 1 tick DataSerie - it wil increase CPU usage.

And it can be so convenient just open SuperDOM and see number of milliseconds, isn't it?


About ping - may be it denied, but for most technical problem there are some solvings.
I live at another continent and I have to check my connection quality.
