Hello. Please advise… Which data center should I place the robot in to minimize signal delay?
How can I measure the latency of the signal from my computer to the NT servers?
NT8 servers, the exchange, and various upstreams (Rithmic, etc.) are all in Chicago. Get as close to downtown Chicago as you can.
If you want to get incredibly close to the trade matching engine for the most popular CME futures, you could even co-locate to this CME data center: Co-Location and Data Center Services - CME Group. I don’t know what this costs, but perhaps some of the VPS companies allow you to rent a VPS in this data center.
Probably starting at least around $1000 a month. Shouldn’t be a problem if you are concerned about latency at that level.
