Best server location for trading on LBank
Host your trading server or bot in AWS Hong Kong (ap-east-1): it reaches LBank in about 18 ms, fast enough that order placement and market data stay effectively real-time.
Avoid running latency-sensitive strategies against LBank from London or other distant regions. At ~372 ms (21× 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.
