FIX cTrader Documentation
07 Apr 2025, 06:31
Hello,
I currently have a trading application written in C that uses WebSocket for real-time market data and FIX API for order execution. I would like to know if IC Markets provides access to both:
- WebSocket feeds for live tick-by-tick market data (e.g. EUR/USD spot)
- FIX API for submitting, modifying, and canceling orders
Additionally, could you please let me know where I can find the full documentation for using the FIX API? Specifically, I’m looking for details on:
- Authentication process
- Signature of the payload (if applicable)
- Any custom FIX fields used
- Host and port information
- Naming rules for the SenderCompID and TargetCompID
- Required FIX tags and supported message types
I’m also interested in getting access to a demo environment with a virtual portfolio, so I can test my trading bot before going live. Could you please confirm:
- Whether demo access is available
- What account type is required
- If there is a minimum deposit
- How to obtain credentials for the FIX and WebSocket APIs
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Frederic
