Understanding Latency and Its Impact on Trading Profitability
Benjamin Franklin wrote in 1748, "Time is money." Never has this been more true than now.
The speed by which an algorithmic trading application, used by a sell-side institution or hedge fund, can access market information, place an order, and have that order filled is of paramount importance to achieving long-term profitability and maintaining competitive advantage.

This paper outlines considerations to make when deploying such trading platforms and monitoring their performance.
