Measured execution speed

Ultima Markets execution speed — measured fill latency

Ultima Markets's measured median broker-side fill latency is 136 ms. The evidence comes from 3,176 broker-reported fills. It describes only the measured symbols, sessions and accounts; it cannot establish results for every account type or future order. Scope: Trailing 180 days. Measured fills: 3,176. Connected accounts: 8. Metric coverage: 98%.

Execution speed here is the broker's own millisecond timestamps — the gap between the order reaching the server and the fill — so it excludes your internet connection and measures only what the broker controls. Across 3,234 measured fills on 8 connected accounts, Ultima Markets filled orders in a median of 136ms, with 95% of fills inside 175ms. The p95 matters more than the median if you trade news: it's the slow tail that costs money.

FAQ

How fast is Ultima Markets's execution?

Median 136ms from order received to filled, measured on 3,234 real fills; the slowest 5% took longer than 175ms. The session table shows how that shifts across the trading day.

How is execution speed measured?

From the broker's own order history: MT5 records when the server received the order and when it filled, in milliseconds. That isolates the broker's processing from your network latency — a slow VPS can't make a broker look bad here, and a fast one can't make it look good.

Does execution speed matter for my strategy?

For scalping and news trading, yes — hundreds of milliseconds move prices. For swing trades held days, median latency is nearly irrelevant, though a long p95 tail can still hurt stop-loss fills in fast markets.
