Speed and latency: how much does it matter for your strategy?

For scalpers and news traders, milliseconds matter; for swing traders, they don't. The honest question is where your strategy sits — and whether you're paying for speed you don't use.

What's your answer?

• the latency your strategy actually tolerates
• how you measured your fills
• the speed upgrades that did or didn't help
