However it is crucial that the user of an online forex trading system has a good internet connection and an optimized computer system. This is crucial because of the latency issue when trading online.

If your internet connection is slow, your online orders made through an online forex trading system will not be submitted to your online forex broker on time. For this reason, you could be losing a few PIPS (small price change in a given exchange rate).

For example: The bid price of the currency pair (EUR/USD) shown on your computer screen is 1.4825 and evaluating the currency pair on your indications, you somehow feel that the EUR currency will grow stronger at the end of the trading day and so you decide to buy EUR at 1.4825.
