Best server location for trading on HTX
Host your trading server or bot in AWS Tokyo (ap-northeast-1): it reaches HTX in about 70 ms, fast enough that order placement and market data stay effectively real-time.
Avoid running latency-sensitive strategies against HTX from London or other distant regions. At ~392 ms (6× 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 HTX 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 HTX from Tokyo in milliseconds, with no shared infrastructure and no extra hops.
