Latency in placing/adjusting orders

  Hi. I trade the US micro indicies with PRT and IBKR (manually orders) but there has been problems placing/adjusting orders starting av few weeks ago. I wonder if anyone else experience the same thing perhaps with other brokers? I trade from the Sweden and it has been working fine before with no latency. Now it can take up to a few seconds before the order is in the market after for example adjusting a stop-loss.

  Hi,

  This is On and Off so to speak. Lately this has been worse – I think due to more volatility. But actually it is quite often that an order stays “grey” a too long while before it is accepted. This is an IBKR thing.
  The “Latency” is not really that but merely the processing time at IBKR (and possibly beyond). With IG I never saw this issue.
