(Resolved) Trade execution speed: triggered Forever vs direct /v2/orders

APIs, Automation, Algos & Code

I use POST /v2/forever/orders (SINGLE for entry, OCO for SL/Target). At the moment of execution, is there any extra internal hop/queue/processing that makes a triggered Forever order slower than placing a direct POST /v2/orders?

In other words, from a trade execution speed point of view, is there any advantage in using normal /v2/orders instead of relying on triggered Forever orders? I mostly do stock option buying in low-liquidity contracts, so even small delays can affect my fills.

Thanks!

Hi @Romesh ,

Just to clarify, there is no difference in execution speed between Forever Orders and regular order placement through the APIs. Both follow the same routing process and maintain identical latency standards typically under 50 ms. So from a trade-speed perspective, using Forever Orders should not introduce any delay.

Thanks for clarification!
