It is taking intolerably long for my orders to be submitted, and then filled. I use chart trader, and when I click buy/sell mkt it takes a few full seconds (maybe 2-3) for the order to be submitted, and then even longer for me to see the actual order on my chart and hear "order filled".
Can somebody explain to me what factors contribute to the time it takes for orders to be submitted/filled? I understand that the second part (filled) is variable depending upon liquidity, but it should not take this long to submit orders, and in fact it did not always take this long, order submission used to be essentially instantaneous for me.
This is a live account we're talking about here and as you can imagine, orders taking this long to be submitted presents a huge problem, especially considering that I'm trading on 1min charts. Anything I can do on my end to speed things up? Please help!
Thank you.
