Best server location for trading on Deribit
Host your trading server or bot in AWS London (eu-west-1): it reaches Deribit in about 10 ms, fast enough that order placement and market data stay effectively real-time.
Avoid running latency-sensitive strategies against Deribit from Seoul or other distant regions. At ~464 ms (46× 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.
