1.) ask your broker whats their server ip address
2.) connect your usb wireless thingy
3.) for win xp user, click Start --> Run type "cmd" without quote in the box and click OK. A black box will appear and able for you to type some command
4.) without quote type "ping" 192.10.10.1 (the ip address that broker gave you) and press enter
you should see something like this
notice the red text i highlighted, ms = miliseconds, if the number you get is HIGHER, that means your connection is slower, the SMALLER the numbers you get the faster your connection to your platform. to compare this usb wireless with your fixed telephone line, repeat the above step with your fixed line, and ping the ipaddress to see how fast is your connection.
If you're using windows an even more impressive (but equally useless) test is:
tracert [address]
You will get a slightly different result each time.
try tracert "www.google.com" (Without quotes)
not sure whats the difference
heres useful explanation : Tracert and Ping Tutorial - understanding traceroute and ping results
There is no difference, they are equally pointless if trying determine whether or not you should trade using a wireless USB thingy. If you think +/- Xms is going to make a difference to your trading you shouldn't be in this game.
I have made many trades with a wireless USB thingy and there is no problem. None, nil, zip, nought, zippo, zero etc...I don't need to ping or pong or ying or yang.
Do you see what I mean? I have traded many times with a wireless USB thingy....do you get it? I'm not giving an opinion I am giving a FACT. I didn't ask my broker if it was OK nor do I ping my orders![]()
