easiest way for latency test between pressed buy button to order acknowledged by broker?

hi,

I'm testing new broker feed (GAIN) in demo, and found latency noticeable.

Wanted to quantify the actual latency of executing buy market order in MultiChart.Net. what is the easiest way?

Or, if I don't mind checking logs, is there a log file I can check?

Thanks.
