Choosing Your Region

Decision Factors

Primary Trading Hours
- Americas: Use NY5 or regional US endpoint
- EMEA: Use LD4 or regional EU endpoint
- APAC: Use TY3 or SG1
Asset Preference
- Crypto/Digital Assets: NY5 (primary liquidity)
- European markets: LD4
- Asian markets: TY3
Latency Requirements
- HFT (< 1ms): Colocation required
- Algorithmic (< 10ms): Regional endpoint or dedicated
- Active (< 100ms): Any regional endpoint
- Casual (< 500ms): Global endpoint

Regional Endpoint Selection

function selectEndpoint(userLocation: string): string {
  const regionMap: Record<string, string> = {
    // Americas
    'US-EAST': 'us-east.api.lux.network',
    'US-WEST': 'us-west.api.lux.network',
    'US-CENTRAL': 'us-central.api.lux.network',
    'CANADA': 'ca.api.lux.network',
    'LATAM': 'us-east.api.lux.network',

    // EMEA
    'UK': 'uk.api.lux.network',
    'EU-WEST': 'uk.api.lux.network',
    'EU-CENTRAL': 'de.api.lux.network',
    'MIDDLE-EAST': 'uk.api.lux.network',

    // APAC
    'JAPAN': 'jp.api.lux.network',

Latency Testing

Test Your Latency

# HTTP latency test

WebSocket Latency Test

const WebSocket = require('ws');

    const start = process.hrtime.bigint();

    ws.on('open', () => {

      const end = process.hrtime.bigint();
      const latency = Number(end - start) / 1e6; // ms
      ws.close();
      resolve(latency);
    });

    ws.on('error', reject);
  });
}

// Test all regions
const regions = [

  'wss://uk.ws.lux.network',
  'wss://jp.ws.lux.network',
  'wss://sg.ws.lux.network'
