FIX Integrations are available for direct Insitutions as well as OMS vendors.

Interactive Brokers FIX Connectivity maintains a minimum equity requirement of 10,000 USD to apply for the connection process.

Your IB account will be subject to IB’s per-session monthly minimum commission fee of USD $1,500 per month for the first FIX session and; USD $1,000 per month minimum commission for any subsequent session(s). Meaning - if the trading commissions do not add up to $1500 (or monthly fee based on how many sessions you have), IB will assess any shortcoming up to $1500 (or monthly fee based on how many sessions you have). See more details below.

  • $1,500 USD per month for the initial connection
  • $1,000 USD per month for each additional FIX connections.
    • As an example, 2 connections would cost $2,500 USD per month in total. 3 connections would cost $3,500 USD per month total.
