FIX API

Read market data, place and manage limit orders, and negotiate request-for-quote trades through the UDX FIX APIs over FIX 5.0 SP2.

The FIX APIs support market data, order book trading, and request-for-quote (RFQ) negotiation over FIX 5.0 SP2, using the FIXT 1.1 session protocol.

Browse the Market Data and Order Entry references for message layouts, field values, and dictionary downloads.

Session messages manage the FIX session, beginning with Logon. Application messages carry market data and trading requests and reports. Both message levels use the shared header and trailer.

See FIX Data Types for wire formats and examples, and FIX Message Layouts for field ordering and presence rules.

See FIX Sessions and Recovery for logon, reconnects, and order-entry replay.
