Indicative REST round-trips from our multi-region measurements — for comparing regions, not an SLA. WebSocket feeds are faster in absolute terms, but the regional proportions hold.
Best server location for trading on Binance
Host your trading server or bot in AWS Tokyo (ap-northeast-1): it reaches Binance in about 23 ms, fast enough that order placement and market data stay effectively real-time.
Avoid running latency-sensitive strategies against Binance from N. Virginia or other distant regions. At ~424 ms (18× the co-located figure) every price you see is stale before you can act on it, and that staleness turns into slippage on every market order.
Trade on Binance with a co-located server
Arbitron runs every account on its own dedicated trading server with its own IP, and you are able to choose the server region — so your orders reach Binance from Tokyo in milliseconds, with no shared infrastructure and no extra hops.
