Tell us about your requirements

To ensure that our API meets your needs, we’d like you to provide some basic information.

 

After that, we’ll ask you to acknowledge our terms and conditions and complete a short non-discloser agreement (NDA) to continue the application process.

 

We also need you to provide some basic connection information, such as the FIX protocol you’re interested in, the exchanges you want to trade on, details about your broker, and so on. This information will enable us to determine the best way to help you connect to your chosen trading venues.

 

If you need any help filling out this part of the application, please contact us.
