Question: What is "Ping" on MT5 (MetaTrader5) for each trading server?
“Ping” column, shows the latency of the trading server.
The unit is “ms” which is millisecond.
A millisecond is a thousandth of a second.
Basically, the lower the ping amount, the faster the connection is.
The number of ping is different by Forex brokers.
If you like to compare the latency of different Forex brokers’ trading servers, you can search for the server name in the “account opening” window, and all relevant server names will be lined up shortly.
If the ping shows “n/a”, that means there is no connection to the trading server.
Please note that the millisecond of ping isn’t the only factor that will affect your orders’ execution speed.
There are many factors that can affect execution quality of your orders such as internet connection, geographic situation and the specification of your trading device.
