Efips
Ftechnics offers two superior solutions for API Trading.
FIX API or Java Socket Based API solutions exceed industry standards.
Ftechnics API solutions are designed to serve market professionals to further program and integrate their codes and systems to receive real-time streaming executable quotes via a data feed, submit orders in various order types, and execute / delete or modify orders.
API system is a one stop connection of experts to select liquidity solutions. Client will have all basic functionality to trade FX and spot metals as if he is trading via a standard Prodigy GUI system.
eFips is a messaging policy system for developing server side communication applications for automatic order execution and streaming price feed. The system does not force developers to use any kind of third party dll or compiled code. Any environment that allows socket connection and send XML messages over it, is able to interact with the eFips servers. So the architecture is independent from the type of the operating system, networking structure, programming language that the client applications are using.
The security aspect of eFips is well-designed with its multiple levels :
- 1- Data transfer over the internet is encrypted via secure shell
- 2- Critical operations like sending or amending orders are protected with secure key exchange algorithm with client specific initial private keys
- 3- IP and password limitations are used while communication channels are being established
In eFips, for every single message sent from the client to the server, there is a two phase response structure. The client is informed initially upon the arrival of the message to the server immediately. The result of the operation is sent with the second response message.
