Hi,

Is there a way to find out the latency between me and my broker/datafeed on SC?

Thanks.

Ethan,

If you want to find the latency of the NETWORK between you and your broker, than a simple ping will do the basic job.
But if you want the latency of the DATA FEED?
Sadly as long as SC won't support millisecond timestamps from the feed provider, you will never know if your data has issues and you just based a trade on "old" price information.
