Anyone else noticing increasing latency with certain prop firms?

asked by u/sarah55 · 14d · 1 answers

Been with a couple of the bigger prop outfits for a while now, primarily trading futures and a bit of $ES_F and $NQ_F. Lately, I'm noticing an uptick in execution latency during critical market hours, especially around data releases. It's not my local setup; I've cross-referenced. Feels like their connectivity or back-end infrastructure is getting overloaded, or maybe they're just adding more hoops. Makes scalping incredibly frustrating when you're milliseconds off. Is this a common trend people are seeing, or am I just hitting an unlucky patch with my current firm's tech stack?

    It's not just you. I've heard similar complaints recently, particularly from traders on larger accounts. Makes you wonder if it's scaling issues or something more deliberate with order routing.
