Colocation Advisory
If you use the CoinJar Exchange API and your trading strategy relies on direct, low latency access to the matching engine, we advise hosting your trading application to a facility close to our primary region to minimise slippage due to network latency.
If your trading strategy also depends on low latency access to another exchange based in Sydney or London, we recommend hosting your trading application in Sydney or London to take advantage of the private connectivity between regions managed by CoinJar Exchange to minimise overall latency.
