Frequently Asked Questions
Fast, low-latency connectivity to global markets is crucial for brokerage companies and traders as it enhances execution speed, access to liquidity, and risk management.
In terms of execution speed, even a millisecond can make a difference. For example, if a trader has a fast connection to the Forex market, they can place and execute an order quickly. This can give the trader an advantage over other traders who may not be able to execute orders as quickly.
Gcore has points of presence in major EMEA financial hubs such as London (LD3), Singapore, and Tokyo. We can arrange direct connections between your infrastructure and major exchange and brokerage sites. This ensures that you have a stable connection with the lowest possible latency.
The best type of cloud instance for hosting MetaTrader 4/5 platforms depends on your specific needs and requirements. If you are looking for a scalable and easy-to-manage solution, virtual instances are a good option.
