In plain English
A standard messaging language for sending orders and receiving prices, used by banks, funds and some advanced retail traders.
FIX (Financial Information eXchange) is a common language for trading systems. A FIX API lets your software connect directly to a broker or venue to stream prices and send orders at speed.
Some brokers offer it to high-volume or algorithmic clients. It is more technical than a platform but avoids the overhead of retail software.
