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
