Dear Trader,

In principle this is true, since FIX API is the leanest way of trading with a cTrader account. However, you should not expect significant performance improvements since cTrader is already a performance optimized trading platform. On the contrary, if you are not familiar with code optimization techniques, your FIX API program might end up being slower than cTrader.

Best Regards,
