All trading during the Crypto Edge Evaluation takes place in a simulated environment using live market data with notional funds.
Latency & Execution Considerations:
To prevent latency arbitrage and other prohibited trading practices, all orders are subject to a small additional latency of 500ms.
This applies equally to all traders across both the Crypto Edge Evaluation and Crypto Edge Performance Account.
This measure helps mitigate high-frequency trading (HFT) strategies that exploit ultra-fast execution speeds.
Impact on Trading:
Normal traders will be largely unaffected by this minor delay.
Latency and slippage may occur due to:
Internet speed and connectivity issues.
Order routing times to and from the live market.
Natural market conditions and volatility.
This setup ensures that Crypto Edge remains a fair and realistic trading environment while discouraging manipulative trading strategies.
