Execution Latency: how fast copies are
The time from your master trade being seen to the broker confirming the copy.
Execution Latency shows how long each copy took, in milliseconds.
What the number means
The clock starts when the copier sees your master trade and stops when the slave's broker confirms the fill. Under the total, broker shows how much of that time was the broker filling the order.
| Label | Time |
|---|---|
| FAST | Under 300 ms |
| OK | 300 to 500 ms |
| HIGH | Over 500 ms |
The bar at the top shows your average, fastest, slowest and 95th-percentile times.
What affects the speed
- The broker. Most of the time is usually the broker filling the order. If "broker" is close to the total, the copier was not the slow part.
- Market conditions. Fills are slower around news and at the market open.
- A dedicated IP. Orders then travel through that IP, which can add a little time.
- Execution variation. Its random delay adds to the time on purpose.
- Your own terminal. Accounts that run on your computer depend on your internet connection.

If copies are slow
- Compare the broker time with the total to see where the time went.
- Turn off execution variation if you do not need it.
- Contact support if times stay high across several brokers.
