BV Trading Speed Ranking·Frankfurt

NO.1: ActivTrades, with an average trading speed of 38 ms and lightning-fast order execution. Even the slowest trade recorded by ActivTrades that month was a mere 81 ms, placing them significantly ahead of the competition.

Comprehensive Review:

Based on the data above, it is evident that ActivTrades consistently demonstrated exceptionally fast trading speeds across Singapore, Dubai, and Frankfurt. It rightfully earned the title of a "lightning" platform in December. Conversely, DBGMarkets stood out as the slowest platform, exhibiting an extremely sluggish performance.

Taking an overall view, Frankfurt emerged as the location with the fastest trading speeds among the three evaluation locations in December. On the other hand, the speeds observed in Singapore and Dubai evaluations appeared to be relatively similar.
