Traders de FIX API

[giewiiiinn]

I am looking to leave the retail platforms and operate through Fix Engine because I am tired of stealing profits with absurd restrictions (scalping, arbitration, HFT, etc.

[EslhemNl]

I don't have much experience with different brokers, but interactive brokers has the reputation of being the most reliable.They have a fairly complete API and many HFT and Scalping traders use it.In addition, they offer a graphic interface if you need it.

[impmesioka]

If you are tired of stealing your profits with restrictions, Fix API is the right way.But prepare, because it is not as easy as opening an account in a retail broker.You will need a stable connection, low latencies and, above all, a strategy that justifies the use of Fix API.If you only seek to escape the restrictions without having a real advantage, you could be wasting time and money.

Before changing Fix API, make sure you really need it.Many traders believe that only by using Fix will have better conditions, but if your operation does not require ultra -grape execution, you may not notice big difference.Investigate the costs and access requirements.Some suppliers ask for high deposits and charge monthly rates for the use of infrastructure.

Interactive Brokers is a decent option, but it is not the best if you are looking for high speed for HFT.If you really want to optimize your execution, you need a provider with low latency and direct access to institutional liquidity.LMAX or Primexm test.

What is your experience with Fix API?Because many people think that changing Fix will solve all their problems, but if you don't have technical knowledge, you will find many difficulties.Also, are you sure the problem is the platform and not your strategy?Sometimes the problem is not the broker, but the trader.

Going to Fix Api is a good movement if you operate arbitration or HFT, but don't expect miracles.If you continue using a cheap server and without optimizing your latency, no matter what API you use: you will remain at a disadvantage against true professionals.

Before looking for Fix API suppliers, make sure you have a good VPS near the broker data center.Without that, all the effort will be useless.You can have the best API in the world, but if the connection is slow, you will lose the advantage.

I went from operating in MT4 to Fix API a year ago and the difference is abysmal in terms of speed.The problem is that not all brokers offer real Fix access.Many simply use a bridge from MT4 and it is not the same.

[finll]

Do you really think the brokers are going to let you do HFT or arbitration without trying to stop you?Even with Fix API, if you start winning too fast, they will make you obstacles.The real secret is to hide your advantage.

[kmllk]

If you are looking for FIX access with GUI, test with LMAX or Currenex.But if you really want to optimize everything, learn to connect your own infrastructure to the API and reduce intermediaries.

[vicenluko93]

I was in your same situation a while ago.I tried several Fix suppliers and ended up staying with Primexm.The execution is much faster than in retail brokers, but you need a good strategy to take advantage of it.

[Fmangom97]

If you are looking for execution and sliding examples, the best thing you can do is contact the suppliers directly.Many will allow you to test your service in demo so you can see how it behaves in real conditions.

[Noclu]

Fix API is amazing, but be careful with hidden costs.Some suppliers charge rates for each message sent, and if you use many orders, costs can become ridiculous.Before changing, be sure to understand how rates and maintenance costs work.

[leunamsa]

If all you want is to avoid restrictions, Fix API may not be the best option.Some brokers such as IC Markets allow scalping and have good conditions without the need for Fix.

[oxmayazcamme]

In the world of trading, there is always a struggle between traders who seek to win quickly and brokers trying to stop them.Fix API gives you more control, but if your strategy really explodes an advantage, the suppliers will end up blocking you sooner or later.

[oxnwl50mjau]

I use Fix API with a VPS in London, and the difference in speed with respect to MT4 is brutal.Of course, you need to know how to program or have someone to do it for you.If not, better continue with retail platforms.

[Paco]

Before making the jump, try your strategy in a demo environment with a Fix API provider.If you do not see a significant improvement in execution, it may not be worth changing.

[lasagom]

How much are you willing to invest in infrastructure?Because Fix API without an optimized server is like having a Ferrari on a dirt road.If you are not willing to spend on a good server and direct connection, maybe Fix is ??not the best option for you.

[Vehnomini]

If what worries you is the sliding in the operations, it also depends on the depth of the market in which you operate.No matter what API you use: if there is little liquidity at a given time, you will continue to see landslides.

[gcg990]

If your strategy is based on microseconds difference, Fix API is the only viable option.But if you simply want a faster execution without complicating too much, you may not need so much.

[Kepahe]

Are you sure the problem is the platform and not the broker?Because if the broker is limiting you in MT4, it is most likely to stop you in Fix API.

[Cm]

The best traders that use Fix API do not talk about it in public forums.If you really want quality information, you will have to investigate beyond what you find here.

[anlalin]

If you are looking for execution examples, ask suppliers a historical latencies on their servers.Some have better connections than others, and the difference in speed can be key in strategies such as HFT.

[Pablochu]

If you have never used Fix API before, prepare for a learning curve.It is not as easy as opening an account in MT4 and start operating.You will need technical knowledge and access to good servers.
