Yes, you are connecting to BF's servers all the way around the world thus the extra delay. You can get a VPS there.
Thank you - i only trade the Tennis on my Australian wallet anyway and i dont trade intra point so its just a minor anoyance and thought it may be a setting thing but if your saying when i use my Australian Wallet then im connecting to a server in Austalia somewhere rather than the UK where i am based then it makes sense
Thanks

I was wondering what the speed of the fastest serve is, relative to how fast a market can change regarding the 300ms delay.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqmy9oxEJig 263kph serve
A serve at 263 kph is 263/60=4.3833km per minute so 4383 meters per minute and 4383/60=0.07305kph=73.05m per second. A tennis court is 23.78m long according to Wikipedia when I checked. So dividing the distance by the speed, gives us the time from baseline to baseline: 23.78/73.05= 0.3255 seconds or 325ms.
I'm going from the just inside the half way point to just outside half point on far side to keep distance close to full length
300ms should be good as long as serves don't start going over 290kph frequently, now that's tennis I'd watch!
