The abundance of brokers providing their services to the trader <b>is not always beneficial</b>, as various offers and conditions often put the trader at a standstill. <br />Let's look at the largest by the <b>number of transactions per trading day company</b> <em>Interactive Brokers</em>. Today, we can safely say that this company is the <b>most technologically</b> advanced company in the States in its field providing users with various types of connection to work through <em>Interactive Brokers API</em>.<br />It is <b>very important</b> that the broker <b>works not only with US citizens</b>, but also foreigners and tries to fully provide all <b>technical support to foreign users</b>. <br />A little history about <em>Interactive Brokers</em>. This broker has been <b>working in the US market</b> since the late 70s. For all the time of its work, the broker has <b>established itself</b> as a <b>reliable, advanced in information technology partner</b>. An important fact is that the broker is the <b>only one in its field</b> in the US market <b>has its own clearing company</b>. From 2010 to 2017, according to experts, <em>Barron's</em> <em>Interactive Brokers</em> was awarded the title of <b>leader among online brokers</b>. The broker is among the <b>top ten</b>, according to the resource <em><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://stocksharp.com/away/?u=AQAAAAAAAAAjBiEr8CNU904wxFvvFUvYjWyQ8Dj0TNyc4SluzNjL_w" title="http://www.stockbrokers.com">www.stockbrokers.com</a></em>, among online brokers. To date, the <b>equity of the broke</b>r amounted to <b>more than $6 billion</b>, the <b>market value</b> ranges from <b>$16 billion</b>.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/110050/interactive-brokers-trade_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/110050/interactive-brokers-trade_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="Interactive-Brokers-trade.jpg" title="Interactive-Brokers-trade.jpg" /></a><br /><br />One of the <b>important aspects</b> to get started is opening an account with a broker. What are the positive aspects of broker account registration at <em>Interactive Brokers</em>:<br />- <b>Registration takes place online</b>, in which you fill out the necessary forms to open; <br />- <b>Copies of documents</b> for opening a brokerage account must be provided in <b>electronic form</b>.<br />After a <b>few days</b>, after the verification your account will <b>be activated</b>. Do not rush to transfer money before the end of the test, as you will not be able to use them until the documents are checked.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/110051/interactive-brokers-registration_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/110051/interactive-brokers-registration_png/?size=500x500" alt="Interactive-Brokers-registration.png" title="Interactive-Brokers-registration.png" /></a><br /><br />After it became available for the management of a brokerage account in the personal Cabinet you <b>need to create a reques</b>t for replenishment of funds. <br />Different currencies can <b>be used to replenish the account</b>, which simplifies the task for users. <br />Let's look at what types of <b>platforms Interactive Brokers</b> offers for trading:<br />- <b>Mobile version of the platform</b>, which enables online trading through mobile gadgets with <em>iOS</em> and <em>Android</em> operating systems;<br />- <b>Desktop version of the platform</b> <em>Trader Workstation (TWS)</em>, which is a full-fledged terminal for work<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/110052/interactive-brokers-trading-platform_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/110052/interactive-brokers-trading-platform_png/?size=500x500" alt="Interactive-Brokers-Trading-Platform.png" title="Interactive-Brokers-Trading-Platform.png" /></a><br /><br />- <b>WEB application</b> - <em>WebTrader</em>, built on <em>HTML</em>, allowing online use of trading functions and tools.<br />The<em> Interactive Brokers API</em> requires <b>special attention</b>. With all the <b>positive reviews</b> about <em>Interactive Brokers</em>, there is a very important point. The broker <b>provides open source code</b> to create its own application based on its <em>API</em>. <br />Many users who first open <em>Trader Workstation</em>, the desktop version of the terminal, are confused. The abundance of seemingly different related information on the screen leads to confusion. Quite a long time design, makes use of the terminal is very inconvenient and causing a large number of questions. <br />In order to correct the situation, the <b>broker provided access </b>to the <em>Interactive Brokers API</em> libraries, so that each user would have the opportunity to<b> create their own terminal. <br /></b><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/110054/interactive-brokers-api-choice_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/110054/interactive-brokers-api-choice_png/?size=500x500" alt="Interactive-Brokers-API-choice.png" title="Interactive-Brokers-API-choice.png" /></a><br /><br />Applications that are <b>created using</b> <em>Interactive Brokers API</em> have <b>full functionality</b>, have <b>access</b> to the user's <b>open accounts</b>, <b>access</b> to <b>market data </b>and <b>trading charts</b>. <br />A wide range of<b> programming languages</b> is limited only by the choice of operating system for some of them:<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/110055/interactive-brokers-api-programming-terminal_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/110055/interactive-brokers-api-programming-terminal_png/?size=500x500" alt="Interactive-Brokers-API-programming-terminal.png" title="Interactive-Brokers-API-programming-terminal.png" /></a><br /><br />Having the <b>ability to create</b> their own application, the user <b>creates a convenient environment for work</b>. For the convenience of <b>creating your application</b>, we recommend using our <b><u><a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/api" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/api">S#.API</a></u></b>. <br />This program allows you to <b>use libraries to create</b> the necessary software product for the trader – terminal, using the <em>C#</em>. The library's own <em>API</em>, allows you to expand the capabilities of the <b>created terminal</b>. The integrated ability to<b> connect through the necessary Protocol</b>, such as <em>FIX Protocol</em>, through our connectors, allows you to <b>simplify the user's work</b>, thereby reducing the time for the <b>development and adaptation</b> of the application to<b> work on the trading floor</b>.https://stocksharp.com/topic/11141/Large base of knowledge!2019-11-05T21:13:41Z2020-04-29T06:25:58ZMarathttps://stocksharp.com/users/101940/info@stocksharp.comHello Friends!<br />We would like You to know more about trading as <b> as possible</b>.

However, among our readers, there are more and more people who do not have knowledge about the exchange, brokers, the market and trading in General.<br /><b>We would like to change this and tell you a little bit about the structure of trading, so that everyone, even a beginner, has an idea of what they might face.</b><br />This will not be a manual for dummies, it will be an article that helps the user who first came to trade navigate.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/112696/stock-exchange-738671_640_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/112696/stock-exchange-738671_640_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="stock-exchange-738671_640.jpg" title="stock-exchange-738671_640.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><u>First, let's tell you what the exchange is and how it works.</u><br /><br /><b>The exchange is a fundamental link in market trading.</b><br /><b>It, like any commercial enterprise, is a legal entity and its activities are regulated by regulations and legal acts established by the state.</b><br />An exchange is a mechanism through which various market participants interact, which are consumers of various financial instruments, such as: <b>currencies, raw materials, and securities</b>.<br /><br /><u>As mentioned earlier, the exchange's work is strictly regulated, so we can firmly say that its work is strictly ordered, namely: </u><br /><em>- <b>Trading is not chaotic</b>, but orderly, strictly at a set time, with strictly set instruments,<br />- <b>Trades are held strictly in a designated place or on a strictly approved virtual trading platform (electronic exchange)</b>,<br />- <b>The requirements and terms of trade for each exchange are unified</b>, which makes it possible to comply with the procedure for transactions, requirements for the quality of goods or services provided, depending on the type of exchange, <br />- <b>The trading mechanism is carried out through counter offers of purchase and sale by interested market participants.</em></b><br />The purpose of the exchange is to organize and regulate the markets of the financial instruments that it represents. The exchange regulates the supply and demand process in order to equalize prices and protect the interests of all trading participants from various negative price changes.<br /><br />Today, there are a huge number of exchanges, each of which trades various financial instruments. You can see the choice of a variety of trading platforms when working with trading programs. For example, <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/terminal/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/terminal/">S#.Terminal</a> allows you to select the trading platform that the user needs, including a large number of electronic exchanges.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/112697/download-new-program-version-_gif/' class='lightview' style='max-width: 600px;' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/112697/download-new-program-version-_gif/" alt="download-new-program-version-.gif" title="download-new-program-version-.gif" /></a><br /><br />This abundance is both positive, as it leads to increased trading opportunities, and negative in terms of the complexity of the choice for the novice, although the latter is rather subjective, since later, the trader understands the trading technique, gets the opportunity for more flexible trading.<br /><br /><br />The emergence of the first exchange in the XV century, we owe the Belgian city of Bruges. It was on its Central square that the first auctions of securities – bills were held.<br />Not far from the place of trade, the house of the <b>Van der Beurse</b> family was located. Later, these trades were taught the name <em>Borsa</em>, which over the years was transformed into the word <b>"stock market" or "exchange". </b>.<br /><u>What are the rules for trading on the stock exchange</u>:<br /><em>- Transparency and openness of operations, <br />- Free pricing<br />- The state does not interfere in the course of the auction, but the auction is regulated by law.<br />- Along with manual trading, it is possible to use automated trading systems. For example, such as <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/shell/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/shell/">S#.Shell</a>, MT and others,<br />- The exchange receives income from Commission on transactions.</em><br /><br />Trading opens up great opportunities for the participant to earn money.<br />Today, both an experienced trader and a novice can become a market participant.<br />The abundance of trading exchanges allows you to choose what and where to trade. The largest exchanges include:<em> Chicago, Tokyo</em> and <em>Sydney commodity exchanges, the new York cotton exchange, the London metal exchange, the German futures (Frankfurt)</em> and <em>Singapore currency exchanges, the European-American NYSE-Euronext, the St. Petersburg </em>and <em>Moscow stock exchanges.</em><br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/112695/business-257911_640_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/112695/business-257911_640_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="business-257911_640.jpg" title="business-257911_640.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Becoming a trader is not always as easy as the advertising brochures promise, the player's path is thorny and inevitably involves losses and winnings.

Limit orders FOK and IOC (FAK).2019-11-15T18:04:12Z2019-11-15T18:04:32ZMarathttps://stocksharp.com/users/101940/info@stocksharp.comEarlier, we said that the <b>FIX Protocol</b> not only increased the<b> speed of traders</b> in the market, but also provided an opportunity for market participants to use <b>limit orders</b>, which reduced the risks of trading. Let's take a closer look at two types of limit orders. <br />Let's start with the <em>FOK</em> order.<br />Literally, its name stands for - <em>'Fill Or Kill'</em>. The essence of this order is that it is<b> executed immediately</b> and in <b>full at the stated price</b>, or will not be executed at all, which eliminates the possibility of slippage. Thus, if your order<b> cannot be executed in full</b>, then the order is<b> simply rejected</b>, if the order <b>can be executed in full</b>, then the <b>order is executed in full at the specified price</b>. [nerd] This type of order is very <b>convenient</b> for <b>scalping</b> or <b>arbitrage strategies</b>, as they <b>eliminate the risk of slippage</b>. In fact, we can say that the <a href="https://stocksharp.com/robot/18/edward-scissorhands/" title="https://stocksharp.com/robot/18/edward-scissorhands/">"Edward – Scissorhands"</a><b> arbitrage strategy</b> from StockSharp <b>eliminates risks</b>. Below is an example of the rejection of the <em>FOK</em> order in the <em>CME</em> system, due to the fact that the <b>order size is 20</b>, and the<b> book contains only 19</b>, so the order <b>can not be executed completely</b>, and the system cancels it. <br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/110086/fok-orde-fix-protocol_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/110086/fok-orde-fix-protocol_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="FOK-orde-FIX-protocol.jpg" title="FOK-orde-FIX-protocol.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The next type of limit orders are <em>IOC</em> orders. <br />The name <em>'Immediate OR Cancel' </em>means that the <b>order is executed in whole or in part at the set price</b>, otherwise the order will be canceled. For example, if the <b>order size is 100 units</b>, only <b>50 units can be sold at the set price</b>. If we use an order of type <em>FOK</em>, the system will cancel it, as it can not be fully executed. When using the <em>IOC</em> <b>limit order</b>, the order will be <b>executed for 50 units</b>, and the <b>remaining ones will be canceled</b>. <em>IOC</em> also has another name <em>FAK</em>, which stands for <em>'Fill And Kill'</em>, executed and discarded the remainder.[nerd]<br />For example, an <em>IOC</em> order will be partially executed (in the <em>CME</em> system, its name is <em>FAK</em>). If we <b>buy 15</b>, and the book <b>contains only 10</b>, then we <b>buy 10</b>, and the <b>remaining 5</b> are rejected, so this order can be called partially executable:<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/110085/iok-order-fix-protocol_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/110085/iok-order-fix-protocol_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="IOK-order-FIX-protocol.jpg" title="IOK-order-FIX-protocol.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><b>Limit orders</b> when working through the <b>FIX Protocol</b> allow the trader to <b>reduce risks</b>, and in some cases, especially when working with <b>arbitrage strategies</b> to <b>reduce them to zero</b>. Our company provides a range of programs to work in the market through <b>FIX connect</b>, such as: designer trading strategies <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/">Designer</a>, trading program <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/terminal/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/terminal/">Terminal</a>.

Limit orders when working through FIX Protocol.2019-10-21T13:10:12Z2019-10-21T13:10:12ZMarathttps://stocksharp.com/users/101940/info@stocksharp.comAs mentioned earlier, an<b> important advantage</b> of working through <b>FIX Protocol</b> is the ability to use limit orders <em>FOK ('Fill or Kill')</em> and <em>IOC ('Immediate Or Cancel')</em>. Their advantage over simple market orders is the absence of <b>price slippage</b>. In fact, for arbitrage strategies, such as <a href="https://stocksharp.com/robot/" title="https://stocksharp.com/robot/">"Edward-Scissorhands"</a> from <a href="https://stocksharp.com" title="https://stocksharp.com">StockSharp</a>, this means almost <b>zero risk</b>. Consider how the orders <em>FOK</em> and <em>IOC</em> FIX Protocol on the example of comparing them with conventional orders.<br />Before making a trade, the trader has the opportunity to <b>sell or buy</b> the selected asset using a limit or market order. The option chosen by the trader determines the level of control over the execution price. <br />Thus, a market order determines its execution in the shortest possible time and at the best available price. [smile] For example, if you buy 100 units on a market order, the order will be executed entirely at the price that is available on the market. Accordingly, 50 units can be conditionally at a favorable price, and the rest at a price less favorable or completely unprofitable, in other words, the order will be executed at several different prices. At the same time, we have a situation with a large slippage.

This is the use of a limit order. For example, if a trader placed a limit order to sell an asset and set a strike price of $ 100, the order will not be executed until the price for the placed asset is equal to or above the set limit of $ 100.[nerd]<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/109876/fix_protocol_limith_order_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/109876/fix_protocol_limith_order_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="fix_protocol_limith_order.jpg" title="fix_protocol_limith_order.jpg" /></a><br /><br />For this reason, <b>we recommend using</b> the FIX Protocol connection, and provide the opportunity to purchase connection connectors or develop connectors individually.

FIX message architecture.2019-10-14T11:33:50Z2019-10-14T11:33:50ZMarathttps://stocksharp.com/users/101940/info@stocksharp.comToday it is impossible to imagine <b>stock trading</b> without the use of <b>FIX Protocol</b>. However, it appeared relatively recently - in 1992.<br />The increase in <b>speed and data volume</b> has prompted the creation of a fundamentally new connection with high bandwidth and reliable connectivity.<br />Today, the fifth version of the FIX5 Protocol has been released, which should replace the previous FIX4. However, the most popular for use is still FIX4, which has proven itself as the<b> optimal solution for data transmission</b>.<br />The Protocol itself exists in two syntaxes, <em>XML</em> (second name FIXML) and <em>Tag=Value</em>. It is worth saying that the Protocol is divided into <b>3 levels</b> - transport, session, application.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/109833/fix_protocol_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/109833/fix_protocol_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="fix_protocol.jpg" title="fix_protocol.jpg" /></a><br /><br />For a better understanding of the mechanism of the Protocol, consider each of the levels separately.<br />Let's start with the <b>transport laye</b>r of the FIX Protocol.<br />This level describes the structure of the message transmitted through the FIX Protocol. Gives a description of how the message structure is constructed.<br />Considering it it is possible to tell the following that it is the usual line containing the cipher written by means of syntax of FIX of the Protocol. In fact , it is a cipher containing a message to be sent to the trading floor.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/109832/fix_connector_data_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/109832/fix_connector_data_png/?size=500x500" alt="FIX_connector_data.png" title="FIX_connector_data.png" /></a><br /><br />The example shows the message transport LAYER fix Protocol, which is directed to the exchange Lmax. This message conveys the information that the trader wants to log in to the trading system to make transactions.<br />At first glance, this message is a set of numbers and symbols, but let's analyze what information this message contains.<br />In our example, we see the syntax of type "Tag=Value". All messages consist of several components - fields, these fields are divided by vertical lines. Each field is divided into two parts by the sign "=". It turns out that to the left of the sign is equal-the "Tag", and to the right-the "Value". Tags are always positive and integers that indicate the name of the field. Each exchange provides a kind of documentation, according to which messages are encrypted and decrypted by the FIX Protocol. It specifies the names of the "Tags" that describe the data type and the description of the data itself.<br />Almost all fields are standardized, having the same meaning on all trading floors. However, it is worth saying that at the same time, <b>not every exchange supports them</b>. Messages sent via the FIX Protocol contain mandatory and optional fields, as well as conditionally required fields, the presence of which is conditioned by the presence of other fields. In the diagram below we can clearly see the division of the message into fields.<br />Let's look at an example of such a record.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/109834/fix_protocol_messenge_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/109834/fix_protocol_messenge_png/?size=500x500" alt="FIX_protocol_messenge.png" title="FIX_protocol_messenge.png" /></a><br /><br />The separation of fields occurs by means of the <em>SOH</em> symbol, which stands for-Start of Heading, and belongs to the <em>ASCII </em>encoding method. In this case, this symbol is not displayed as an abbreviation, but is conditionally indicated by a vertical line and from the point of view of the <em>UNICODE</em> format has the value “<b>\u0001</b>”.<br />The same is worth noting that the message is built from three parts. Conventionally, they are shown in different colors:<br />- Green-header<br />- Pink-body<br />- Lilac - checksum<br />Let's take a closer look at what each of the parts is.<br />The message header can contain a different number of fields, consider the main ones that must be in the FIX message:<br />- <b>8 = FIX.4.4</b>-this field indicates the Protocol version, it is always the first.<br />- <b>9 = 123</b>-this field indicates the size of the FIX message, it is the second message size, always the second in a row<br />- <b>35 = V</b>-this field means the name of the operation to be performed, in this case V-market data query, this field is always the third.<br />- <b>34 = 2</b>-denotes which account message is calculated for the current session.<br />- <b>49 = FIXtest1</b> – this field means the sender user ID, which is assigned by the exchange.<br />- <b>54 = 20120924-14:05:44.952</b> is the current time of sending the message.<br />- <b>56 = LMXBDM</b>-this field is the value of the identifier that is assigned to the recipient by the exchange.<br />Considering the body of the FIX message, we can say that this is a list of fields that correspond to each of the types of requests. The practice of using a set of fields or groups that contain the same tags is also used.<br />Let's assume we need to request information on a list of tools. In this case, each of them will have the same tag, and differ only in content. We list the necessary tools, using a separate field for each. This type of record is called a group or set of fields. They will all have the same tag or data type, and differ only in content.<br />Consider the checksum. The calculation is performed in accordance with a special algorithm, the calculation takes the header and body. In the beginning, the length of the "header plus body" is calculated, then divide the length by 256 and get the remainder. The checksum consists of three characters. If in the remainder of the division we got 20, then forward we add 0, and get 020. As a result, the checksum in our case will have the form " 10 = 020|".<br />Now consider the session-level Protocol. This FIX message Protocol regulates the mechanism of establishing/disconnecting the connection, maintaining the connection, reporting missing data. It consists of a number of messages:<br />1.<b> Logon (35=A)</b> - by means of this message, the user is authenticated by the server. It is sent first, and serves as a signal to the beginning of the data transfer session. On successful startup, a response message is received, on error-a message about the error occurred.<br />2. <b>Logout (35=5)</b> - this message indicates a disconnection from the server.<br />3. <b>Heartbeat (35=0)</b> - this message notifies the readiness of counterparties, is sent to both parties, another name is the message "pulse". The frequency of sending the pulse is set by the user in the First logon message.<br />4. <b>Test Request (35=1)</b> - this message is a test message and is sent when the counterparty has not sent a pulse message within the specified period. The session will be closed if this message remains unanswered.<br />5. <b>Resend Request (35=2)</b> is a request message that is directed to send a repeated message. Resend Request, for example, can repeat to give a signal that the exchange would repeat the missed information.<br />6. <b>Reject (35=3)</b> – the message is sent in response if the previous one is incorrectly formed.<br />7. <b>Sequence Reset (35=4)</b> - this message can take two forms.<br />- in the field <em>GapFillFlag</em> (tag 123) is the value " Y”, used to ignore administrative messages, if there is a repetition of their sending.<br />- in the second case, it is used To reset the <em>MsgSeNum </em>counter.<br />The last level of FIX messages is applied.<br />This level has the most capacious description, this is due to the fact that this level contains information that is necessary to work with the trading platform.<br />Let's look at the main messages of this level:<br />1. <b>Market Data Request (35=V)</b> - the message sends a signal that the user subscribes to the stream of transmitted data on quotes in the current time period. The user can unsubscribe from receiving data through a similar request, specifying the ID of the previous message. In this case, he will receive a message MarketDataSnapshotFullRefresh (35=W).<br />2.<b> New Order Single (35=D)</b> – a message about the user's desire to place an order in the system. The user has the ability to set their own ID, this simplifies the process of tracking the execution, partial execution or cancellation of the order.<br />3. <b>Execution Report (35=8)</b> – execution report message that provides information on the status of the order executed or canceled, and for what reasons. This report is specified as Exec Type (Tag 150).<br />4. <b>OrderCancelRequest (35=F)</b> - message about the request to cancel the placed order.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/109835/fix_protocol_trading_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/109835/fix_protocol_trading_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="fix_protocol_trading.jpg" title="fix_protocol_trading.jpg" /></a><br /><br />We have analyzed the main aspects of working with messages transmitted by means of FIX Protocol. The number of such messages and query options is huge, and every year the possibilities and <b>tools for working with FIX Protocol are growing</b>. The specification of such messages is regulated by the exchange, leaving a standardized form for recording requests.<br />Let me remind you that the transmission of such messages takes place directly when <b>directly connected </b>to the trading floor, through <b>FIX connectors</b>. The cost of such connectors and their name are different, more information about the specification of connectors can be found on our <u><b><a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/pricing/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/pricing/">website</a></b></u>.https://stocksharp.com/topic/11063/FAQ on FIX Protocol.
