Patsystems API and FIX Trading Gateways

GNI touch® has a broad range of customers connecting to various futures exchanges via the Patsystems API and FIX trading gateways. In recent years the number of clients trading on established third-party platforms such as NinjaTrader and TradeBullet has grown significantly. Additionally, developers who have built their own trading applications or Black Box systems can also benefit from this type of connection. Patsystems’ FIX Trading Gateway is now in its fourth successful year.

Patsystems' Proprietary API

Patsystems provides a high performance proprietary API library for futures and options. It provides direct access to real-time market data, and delivers advanced strategy support. Traders can also take advantage of our partner programme.

FIX Trading Gateway

FIX - Financial Information eXchange - is the de facto connectivity standard for the financial industry. It serves all levels: front-office trading applications, mid or back office systems and exchanges - areas that have involved Patsystems for several years.

In addition, Patsystems is a member of the Global Derivatives Steering Committee, which means that it helps to shape the development of the standard.

The current FIX Trading Gateway is available in two formats, both supporting FIX version 4.2. The interfaces can be used for order flow, market data and notice of execution. The formats are:

• a deployable API-based application that may be embedded within a buy-side application or a FIX engine. The application sends Patsystems' proprietary messages to GNI touch®.
• the traditional method of routing FIX-based messages directly to a FIX-based server housed at GNI touch®.

Patsystems' FIX Trading Gateway is built around industry standard FIX 4.2 connectivity, and provides a high speed connectivity solution for order flow and market data. Developers who are fluent in FIX can get connected in a minimal amount of time.
