Execution delays in MQL5 VPS
I rented a VPS from MQL5 website, because it was explained in this page that the execution delays when submitting a trading order are 0-1ms:

In reality, I always experience much longer execution delays (>100ms) when opening and closing orders.
Example of an opening order:
2023.05.10 14:44:44.569 '618765': instant order buy 1.35 AUDUSD at 0.67987 sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000
2023.05.10 14:44:44.709 '618765': order was opened : #126584209 buy 1.35 AUDUSD at 0.67987 sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000
Example of a closing order:
2023.05.10 14:49:53.350 '618765': close order #126584209 buy 1.35 AUDUSD at 0.67987 sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000 at price 0.68083
2023.05.10 14:49:53.475 '618765': order #126584209 buy 1.35 AUDUSD at 0.67987 sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000 closed at price 0.68083
Why is this execution performance similar to conventional VPS and not as promised?

Don't forget the trade execution speed from the broker's side.
I have never seen a better than 30-50ms trade execution from any broker and this can be as high as 100-150ms depending on the trading conditions, the market volatility and the broker itself.
The MQL5 VPS claimed latency is the speed that the VPS is sending the order to the broker.
