What is a FIX API in forex trading?

FIX API (Financial Information Exchange Application Programming Interface) is a protocol that allows traders to connect directly to a broker’s or liquidity provider’s servers for faster and more customizable trading. Unlike standard platforms like MT4, FIX API provides low-latency execution, high-frequency order placement, and detailed market data access. It is favored by institutional traders, algo developers, and hedge funds. However, it often requires higher minimum deposits and technical expertise. For professional traders seeking speed and flexibility, FIX API offers a significant edge compared to retail platforms.
