SlowBroker / FastBroker is a free, built-in demonstration bot (Latency Arbitrage) for the FIX API Terminal, designed to showcase execution speed differences, price feed timing, and latency behavior across different liquidity sources and brokers.
This bot is not a traditional trading strategy — it is an educational and analytical tool that helps traders understand how price delays and execution speed impact real trading results at the FIX API level.
⚡ Core Concept
The idea behind SlowBroker / FastBroker is simple but powerful:
Different brokers and liquidity providers receive and execute prices at different speeds.
The bot allows users to:
- observe how prices arrive from different sources,
- see execution delays in real time,
- understand how latency affects entries and exits,
- compare fast vs slower execution environments.
This is the foundation of professional latency-sensitive trading.
🧠 What This Bot Demonstrates
SlowBroker / FastBroker helps users visualize:
- price feed delays,
- execution timing differences,
- slippage caused by latency,
- order acknowledgment speed,
- FIX session behavior under different conditions.
It provides practical insight into why execution quality matters more than indicators.
📊 Execution-Oriented Logic
Instead of focusing on indicators or patterns, this bot focuses on:
- order submission timing,
- FIX response behavior,
- execution confirmation speed,
- market reaction during fast price changes.
This makes it especially useful during:
- volatile market conditions,
- news releases,
- liquidity shifts.
🛡 Controlled & Safe by Design
As a free built-in bot, SlowBroker / FastBroker is designed to be:
- non-aggressive,
- transparent,
- limited in trade frequency,
- free from martingale, grid, or averaging.
Its primary role is analysis and observation, not profit maximization.

- directly through FIX connections,

Everything happens at the FIX execution layer.
