How do I perform a Data Speed connectivity test with my broker?

[vern13]

Hello,

I would like to perform an speedtest with my broker's servers. I trade futures using AMP brokerage with CQG data through the NinjaTrader platform.

1) How could I perform a speedtest between my computer and the broker's servers? Where are they located (town)?

2) Is there a directory where I could find an exact IP address so I can run a custom ping test?

3) Does ninjatrader have servers in which they "relay" market data provided by my broker?

Thank you in advance,

Shain

Thanks for writing in.
1) You would need to do a tracert or ping test. tracert:
3) Real-time data comes directly from CQG. Historical data comes from our servers.

One quick question: Do you have the IP address for RIthmic data via Ninjatrader brokerage?

I am currently running a demo and would like to compare the pings.

Thank you!

Do you have the Rithmic ip to ping the Chicago server?

To my knowledge, Rithmic uses dynamic IP addresses so there wouldn't be a reliable way to perform a similar test. I'd recommend contacting Rithmic directly for more information.
