Using cTrader Windows App to connect to a FIX Broker
08 Mar 2023, 12:05


(How) is it possible to use cTrader Windows App to connect to another then the default FIX Broker?
The FIX-API Settings are read-only and cannot be changed ?!

Thx

Hi heinrich.munz

As far as i know you cannot change the ctrader windows app to connect to another FIX broker. 

FIX API allows you you design/program your own application and connect to multiple ctrader fix accounts via different brokers. 

As you rightly say the windows app ctrader fix credentials are read only. 

FIX is used to achieve low latency and connect to multiple ctrader broker accounts by programming your own application. 

for example, this is the application i built for a client who wanted the ability to buy across all his accounts simultaneously from one custom interface using FIX API.
