Why Speed Matters

Ultra-Low Latency (<30ms)

Every millisecond of delay can cause slippage, meaning you enter at a worse price. Compare execution speeds across brokers.

What happens during execution delay?

0-30ms (IUX)

Price barely moves. You get the price you see.

80-100ms (Average)

Price may shift 0.2-0.3 pips. Small but consistent cost.

200ms+ (Slow)

Price can move 0.5-1.0+ pips. Significant slippage risk during news.

The bottom line

Faster execution aims to reduce slippage, helping you enter and exit closer to your intended price. Over hundreds of trades, this can add up. IUX processes orders within 30ms under normal market conditions.*
