Trading in Asian countries using DAS

[JS 10]

Hi

anyone using Das in countries such as China Japan or Singapore? Wonder what your experience is in terms of platform speed etc. Thanks!

Trading in China is illegal as far as I know. In most highly developed countries, it isn't an issue using DAS though. We have a lot of members actively trading in Singapore actually. The people that network delay issues, are generally trading in underdeveloped areas using cellular hotspots way out in the countryside... Andrew was trading in Hawaii with only around a 100 ms delay. Once the data hits the subsea fiber optic lines, it gets to NJ pretty quickly. It's the getting to the heavy duty fiber lines that takes the time.

Thanks for the response but trading is legal in China as I know people who freely trade in Shanghai exchange as well as oversea exchanges.  Maybe you meant trading bitcoin?

Really? Interesting... Disregard me on that point then.

I trade from Vietnam using DAS Trader and it's great. No problem with execution speeds at all, at least so far.
