Trading Gateway API Overview

The BPX Trading Gateway FIX API can be used for order entry and management as well as trade-related updates. This specification applies to all market participants wishing to connect to the BPX MTF.

Within this documentation, the following terms will be used to represent message initiators:

  • BPX MTF - BPX is the initiating party of a message.
  • Customer – BPX Member, technical integration vendor or other party connecting to the BPX MTF via the FIX API is the initiating party of a message.
  • Both – Either BPX MTF or the Customer is the initiating party of a message.

BPX currently supports FIX protocol 5.0 SP2.
