Introduction

FIX (Financial Information eXchange) is an open, industry-standard protocol for the electronic transmission of orders and related data. The protocol is defined and maintained by an industry association, the FIX Trading Community.

Use of FIX requires an integration process lead by our FIX Engineering team, who can be reached at fixengineering@ibkr.com.
