Uncovering the Quickest Trading Speeds in Brokerage Through BV Assessment

Trading speed is directly tied to the ability to execute trading orders and close positions promptly. The faster the trading speed, the closer traders can get to their desired levels. Trading styles such as scalping and short-term trading, which aim to quickly capitalize on spreads, place exceptionally high demands on the trading speed of platforms.

BrokersView conducted a review of 19 brokers in October to assess their trading speed performance in Singapore, Dubai, and Frankfurt. Let's take a look at how these brokers fared in terms of trading speed. (Please note that the data presented is based on real trading orders of EURUSD.)
