Latency Arbitrage

Latency arbitrage is a high-frequency trading strategy that enables traders to capitalize on pricing inefficiencies between two brokers by acting swiftly. This strategy allows you to trade against the slower broker with advanced knowledge of future prices, often within less than one second.

About the Realtime Arbitrage Viewer

The Realtime Arbitrage Viewer is a tool designed to visually compare the latency of various brokers, making it ideal for scalping and arbitrage strategies. It highlights which brokers have the fastest data feeds and which are the slowest, giving you a quick assessment of your broker's suitability for your strategy. This tool can save you significant time compared to manually checking latency or comparing data using charts. It's an essential tool for anyone aiming for success in scalping.

How Does It Work?

The Realtime Arbitrage Viewer shares price information through an IPC tunnel and displays all prices on a chart within a few milliseconds. Alternatively, price feeds can be recorded as text files for later viewing.

• Place the MQL4 helper scripts in your MT4 platform.
• Select the broker number from which you need to retrieve data.
• Ensure that both symbols are identical (e.g., EURUSD and EURUSD.lmx).

The real-time viewing feature allows data from up to four brokers, with no limit when using the offline feature.
