Integration documentation for the CLOB FIX order entry API.
The Order Entry FIX session plays a pivotal role in the zerohash ecosystem, enabling participants to submit new orders and receive execution reports swiftly and efficiently. This section provides a detailed overview of the FIX messaging framework within the Order Entry session, elucidating its structure, functionality, and integration nuances.
FIX Message Structure
In the Order Entry FIX session, participants interact with the zerohash CLOB using standardized FIX messages. These messages encapsulate crucial order details such as account information, order type, quantity, price, and execution instructions. Each message adheres to the FIX protocol, ensuring consistency and interoperability across trading platforms.
Support and Translation
zerohash's FIX Gateway provides robust support for a wide array of FIX messages within the Order Entry session. From submitting new orders to modifying existing ones, the FIX Gateway efficiently processes incoming messages and translates them into actionable instructions within the CLOB environment. Participants can rely on the Gateway's seamless integration capabilities to execute trades swiftly and accurately.
Order Modification & Cancellation Behavior
When managing existing orders in the CLOB, participants should understand how price-time priority is affected:
- Cancels are removed from the book.
- Modifications that increase liquidity (e.g., raising
quantityof an order) lose their place in price-time priority. - Modifications that decrease liquidity (e.g., reducing
quantityof an order) retain their position in the queue. - Any change to price results in a full price-time priority reset.
