How to locate the broker's server
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 1:33 pm
If you have the server IP, you go in a command window (start/run/CMD), and type "ping -a IP".
If you dont have the IP, you close everything on your PC except the trading platform, you open a CMD window, type "netstat" then enter. It shows all connection. The IP with "HTTPS ESTABLISHED" at the end is the broker's server.
You can also type "tracert IP", to see wich cities are routing your orders.
If you can have less than 100ms of delay , you are OK.
