Trading Engine Latency Meaning

Trading engine latency refers to the time delay between when a trading instruction is submitted and when it is processed and executed by a trading system. Latency is typically measured in milliseconds or microseconds.

Low latency is critical in high-frequency and algorithmic trading, where speed directly affects execution priority and price outcomes. In crypto markets, latency can vary significantly due to network congestion, API performance, and infrastructure design.

Managing trading engine latency helps reduce slippage, improve fill rates, and maintain competitiveness in fast-moving markets.
