Step 1: FIX API integration
Bridges and liquidity providers use the FIX API (Financial Information Exchange Protocol) to connect.
Step 2: FIX specification
As a bridge or liquidity provider, you need to send us the FIX specification for your bridge. Our team will integrate it into the TradeLocker system, and let you know as soon as it’s ready.
Step 3: Instruments
Please provide a list of instruments you want to offer to your clients. Use the following template as an example of what the document should look like: example_symbols.csv
- Our team will import this list into our system.
Note: Historical charts are uploaded manually as a one-time process. Our team is here to assist you every step of the process.
Step 4: Data exchange
The bridge provider delivers two key data streams to the platform:
- Quotes: The current price of the instruments.
- Orders: We send all trade orders back to the bridge, such as buying or selling an instrument.
The broker will acquire the final list of instruments from the bridge provider and send those to our team with all required specifications before testing it and going into production.
If you have any questions about the integration process, feel free to reach out to our team through the Customer Support Portal.
