Fintechee: FIX API Trading Platform helps traders have more speedy trading experiences than traditional terminals

FIX API Trading Platform

FIX API Trading Platform is a feature provided by the backend of Fintechee’s WEB Trader, facilitating traders to connect with liquidity providers and receive streaming quotes.

The term FIX stands for Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol, which serves as a message-based standard for real-time electronic information exchange in security institutional transactions.

In addition to FIX API connectivities with all liquidity providers, our institutional version offers features like multiple-user management, a price aggregator, and a smart order routing system. Now, introducing a new version tailored for individual traders, we’ve created a more compact, full-featured option with FIX API connectivities.


FIX API Trading Platform: Institution Version vs Traditional Trading Terminals

When building a broker company using traditional trading terminals, you typically need to acquire a main white label or at least a sub-white-label and obtain a license from a relevant jurisdiction.

If you lack the authorization to trade directly with your clients as a counterparty, you must sign agreements with liquidity providers to transfer the risk exposure of your net trade positions. Subsequently, a bridge is required to communicate with the liquidity provider. Since liquidity providers often don’t use low-speed RESTful APIs, you might need to invest in an internationally accepted solution, such as FIX API, to construct the bridge. Purchasing and integrating a FIX API bridge involve additional costs and time.

Fintechee offers an All-in-One trading platform with a built-in FIX API engine capable of seamless communication with any liquidity provider. This eliminates the need to purchase extra plugins or spend time debugging the integration between your trading platform and FIX API connectivity.

FIX API Trading Platform Individual Version vs Traditional Trading Terminals

Whether you engage in Scalping or News Trading, commonly known as High-Frequency Trading (HFT), these trading styles demand an exceptionally fast trading environment. To maximize profits, you might handle substantial trade positions in the short term, necessitating a larger margin deposit.

If you trade as an individual, you might associate with a broker using a traditional trading terminal. However, the backend of this shared trading terminal accommodates numerous traders. Despite substantial deposits, the trading environment may not align with your invested funds. Especially in the early stages of your trading journey, you may not have been fully aware of this limitation.

Fintechee offers an All-in-One trading platform tailored for individual traders. It operates on FIX API and is installed directly on your local PC, providing a dedicated trading environment. In this setup, you won’t share the trading channel with others, and your orders will be sent directly to liquidity providers. There’s no need to connect to WEB servers or use slow RESTful APIs anymore.

Our platform supports algorithmic trading, automated trading, and backtesting. We provide Expert Advisor Studio to enhance the functionalities of your trading environment, making your old programs and trading robots reusable by recompiling them.

Our liquidity provider partners extend support for Cryptocurrency and Spread Betting—trading instruments often unavailable in most environments that support FIX API.

Choose a superior trading environment that aligns with the funds you invest.
