Live latency, all 12 majors.
Updated every 5 seconds from probes inside each Equinix PoP. If we miss our SLA on your broker, the month is on us.
Cross-connected, not just colocated.
Sitting in LD4 is one thing — having a fibre cross-connect to your broker's cage is another. We run dedicated fibre paths to the top 30 retail brokers, not best-effort internet.
- Direct Equinix Cross Connect to top brokers
- BGP-anycast DNS at every PoP
- Optional dedicated 10 Gbps cross-connect for prop desks
MT4, MT5, cTrader and your weird Python bot.
Pre-installed terminals, signed and patched. Bring your own EAs and indicators or pick from our gallery — we never inspect what you trade.
